Chandler Limited REDD Microphone - Tube Condenser Microphone & Preamp
The Chandler REDD Microphone is an innovative new design that combines a large diaphragm tube microphone and preamp, into a singular handcrafted body! This unique design from Chandler is patent pending. The REDD Microphone is visually, reminiscent of the infamous Neumann U47, however it is not designed to sonically imitate one. Chandler have created a unique tube microphone with a cardioid and omnidirectional polar pattern, that incorporates the REDD.47 mic preamp to power it! You can also use the REDD microphone with another preamp of your choosing, bypassing the REDD .47 circuitry altogether.
Type: Tube Microphones
Chandler Limited REDD Microphone Features:
Continuing in the rich tradition of innovation at EMI, dating back to the early 1930s with Alan Blumlein, the father of ‘Stereo’, the company’s first coil microphones, velocity ‘ribbon’ mics and the “Blumlein pair” technique, Chandler Limited and Abbey Road Studios introduce the first new EMI badged microphone in over a half century, the ‘REDD Microphone’.Designed by Chandler Limited Founder and Chief Designer, Wade Goeke, the patent pending REDD Microphone represents a shift in traditional microphone design, bringing together historic circuitry and the heralded EMI REDD.47 preamplifier sound in a new and unique way.
The proximity of the REDD Microphone’s custom capsule to the internal tube mic preamp, allows it to deliver a larger than life full-bodied sound, with a velvety smooth top-end.
