Brief Description

The Gemini II is our homage to the classic era of valve microphones. We wanted to create something
uniquely modern and versatile, while preserving the larger-than-life sonic legacy that defined tube mics of
decades past. This large-diaphragm cardioid condenser has that signature warmth and weight to its sound,
courtesy of a 12AX7 input valve, while boasting an unattenuated presence range. Where most microphones
have an output transformer, we have instead added a 12AU7 valve, giving the Gemini II the pristine top end
that you'd expect from an expensive solid-state mic. Vocal tones recorded with the Gemini II sound polished,
and ready to take front and center in your mix.
The Gemini II isn't only for vocals, though. We've equipped it with a switchable low cut filter, as well as a
switchable -10dB pad, allowing it to shine on a variety of sources. In the drum room, on an acoustic guitar,
capturing the boom of timpani, or the intimacy of a cello, the Gemini II will not let you down.
All sE microphones are built by hand at our headquarters in Shanghai. We take pride in the attention to detail
under which our products are crafted, therefore the entirety of manufacturing is done in our own facilities. We
also test and measure the tubes for each Gemini II to ensure optimal performance.

What's in the box

The Gemini II features both an Attenuation Switch and a Low-Cut Switch.
Attenuation Switch
The Attenuation Switch is located on the front-left side of the microphone. When
engaged, the incoming signal is reduced by 10dB, helping prevent signal distortion and
preamplifier clipping when capturing audio at close proximity and/or high sound
pressure levels.
