The GoldMike is another jewel in the SPL Tube series. Like all SPL
tube processors, the GoldMike combines the unique sonic qualities
of tube technology with state-of-the-art manufacturing, meti-
culous component selection and high-tech conception.
This latest product, a dual-channel tube microphone preamplifier
with superb sonic qualities, is particularly suited for recording
vocals and acoustic instruments. You will be surprised by not
only its precision but also the natural impact of different vocal
timbres – the silky warmth of a pristine tube sound is needed by
more than just acoustic guitars!
You don't have to listen to those dead and sterile HD recordings.
GoldMike's whisper quiet performance makes it ideal for digital
recording. Even the most demanding recording subjects, such as
a choir, are easily handled. The Class A tube amp, designed as
two independent mono blocks, guarantees absolute channel
separation. Your stereo recordings in particular will benefit from
a wider stereo depth.
GoldMike's technical standards are predicated on an uncompro-
mising effort to combine the sonic advantages of tubes with the
experience of more than 12 years of research in semi-conductor
amplification design.
The GoldMike allows for up to 72 dB of gain – a value tube-only
designed preamps can't match. The SPL tube/IC construction,
on the other hand, superbly combines today's standards with
such trademark tube characteristics: improved spatial depth,
rich detailed imaging, warm and smooth sonics. Moreover, the
GoldMike delivers high common-mode-rejection and ultra linear
amplification in addition to the high gain capabilities.
