Violet Design The Grand Pearl - Electrostatic Unidirectional Vocal Microphone
Designed and hand-built in Latvia, the "Pearl" series of professional electrostatic microphones are designed for studio vocal recording and now hand-held stage applications, where sound quality and musical character is of the utmost importance. The Grand Pearl uses a large dual-diaphragm transducer, which provides the warm, classical vocal sound usually associated with vintage vocal studio microphones. This innovative microphone introduces a new physical design with a rear-ported spherical head and a special narrow tapered form reflector to reduce internal resonances and reflections and optimize the unidirectional cardioid polar pattern.
The internal solid state pre-amplifier is based on class-A fully discrete transformer-less electronics circuit. The circuit is designed under the highest audio standards and provides linear audio frequency range, high dynamics, low self noise, and very low audio distortion of all types. The larger diaphragm of The Grand Pearl is specially tuned to provide a deep warm vocal tone ideal for jazz or pop music. As this is a unidirectional cardioid microphone, it should be mounted so that the rear openings behind the capsule are not obstructed.
