You can learn more about David and his profession here:https://www.dbmicrophonerepair.com/about/ Good sounding and versatile microphone system, in great cosmetic and perfect functional shape. Comes with rugged hardshell transport case, and 3 cardioid capsules. These 3 "Bottle Caps" are voiced differently, extremely useful for optimizing mic choice when recording vocals, but also an efficient way to round out your studio's mic cabinet. Three Iconic Mic CapsulesThe Bottle Mic Locker includes four Bottle Caps, each delivering its own sonic inspiration. The B0 gives you a bright, silky tone that's perfect for vocals. The B6 offers crisp "modern presence" for larger-than-life vocals, piano, percussion, and more. Go back in time with the B7 for big vintage tube tones. Versatility for Every SessionShoot out all four capsules to find the right sound, layer tracks with different capsules for richer, larger-than-life mixes, and explore new tones for your instruments—all with one portable package. The system comes housed in a road-ready, velvet-line SKB hardshell case complete with the Bottle microphone, four capsules, and a power supply. Plus, you can always expand your capsule collection for endless inspiration via the entire family of Bottle Caps (mic capsules other than the B0, B6, And B7 are available separately). Always Get the Right ToneFeaturing four interchangeable Bottle Caps that deliver distinct tonal characteristics, the Bottle Mic Locker enables any recording engineer to accomplish a full vocal mic shootout with a single mic on a single stand. Simply hot swap (no power off/on needed) between capsules to find the sound that brings out the magic in any vocal performance; the bayonet capsule mount makes changing capsules quick and easy.Power Supply with Adjustable SensitivityPower Stream power supply offers a nine-step polarization switch for sensitivity selections. Set at the top (zero), the microphone capsule is set at 60 volts for the suggested performance. When the switch is tuned counter fully clockwise, the polarization voltage is reduced to deliver a 6 dB lower output for louder signal sources. When turned fully clockwise, the polarization voltages are increased, delivering up to 4 dB more output for quieter sound sources. Vacuum Tube AmplifierThe Bottle vacuum tube amplifier consists of a classic common cathode circuit using a current source for the plate load, rather than the more commonly used simple resistor. The amplified signal is taken from the plate and fed through a high-quality polypropylene capacitor, bypassed by a smaller value polystyrene capacitor (Russian MIL spec), and output to a Blue custom hand-built transformer. Both capacitors have a low dielectric absorption coefficient and a low equivalent series resistance. These parameters are essential to high-end audio and are not present in lower priced microphones. All of the Bottle's internal wiring is Teflon-insulated, oxygen-free copper. Champagne Tube Microphone CableDesigned collaboratively by Blue and an engineer with over 30 years of experience in the audio cable industry, the Champagne tube microphone cable uses premium proprietary materials such as two-conductor twisted pair, tinned copper braid, and five additional 24-gauge conductors. The result is a top-tier blend of performance and protection.
