The dual valve design means pure valve warmth from the 12AX7 input valve, coupled with a 12AU7 valve on the output stage. The result is an incredibly large, detailed, and intimate sound – reminiscent of the classic valve microphones from decades ago, but with a thoroughly modern twist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e THE GEMINI CONCEPT: DUAL-TUBE DESIGN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eMost microphones use a transformer to optimize the mic's output impedance and couple the mic to the mic preamplifier.
