The Gemini II dual valve
microphone is sE Electronics ultimate design. A no holds barred piece of
microphone history. The dual valve design means pure valve warmth from
the 12AX7 input valve coupled with a 12AU7 valve on the output stage in
place of the traditional transformer. The result is an incredibly large
detailed and intimate sound reminiscent of the classic valve microphones
from decades ago, but with all of the top end you’d normally associate
with the best solid state mics on the market.

‘I am incredibly impressed by the seemingly contradictory
combination of warmth, crispness and definition that was
captured in the tracks by the
sE Gemini
and sE
Reflection Filter....the songs we were working on had dense
arrangements yet the sax cut through without ever sounding
abrasive or disconnected from the rest of the track.....it was a
beautiful, natural sound we didn't even use any EQ !’
Bob Dylan,
Bonnie Raitt, The Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson

Resolution “with the sheer quality of sound
the Gemini produces [it’s] another triumph for SE.
SOS “Fantastic for placing your vocals right
at the front of the mix… [it will] impress the hell out of your
clients”
Mixdown (Australia) “I don’t usually get
excited that much about microphones, but this one made me really stand
up and take notice”
Performing Songwriter “The Gemini will impress
anyone who comes to sing or play into it”
Resolution “It’s an impressive looking beast
to put on the end of a microphone stand… SE’s engineers have been
brave and resourceful, [and] in doing so they’ve come up with a very
respectable microphone that has a sound all of its own; sufficiently
different and impressive in sound as well as appearance to justify its
price point.”
