Soundelux USA U195
Overview:
The SOUNDELUX USA U195 is a custom built, hand made, cardioid pattern phantom powered large diaphragm FET microphone. In designing the U195, David Bock set out to create an extreme value in studio mics that could satisfy a wide range of demands for highly experienced engineers that own many more expensive microphones, yet need additional mics within a budget. It delivers superb results on lead vocal tracks as well as in instrument and guitar amp use, providing remarkable fullness and presence with exceptionally low background noise for a transformer output design.
The Soundelux USA U195 has now been "reissued" by David Bock, the original Soundelux designer, and is an exact reissue of the Soundelux / Elux 195 as it was also known then but with a new and improved K67 capsule. It features a unique tone control switch that offers the now famous "Fat" mode providing a boost between 10Hz and 400Hz recreating the tone of vintage valve microphones hen used up close. The mode works by affecting the negative feedback built into the circuit. The U195 also includes a non-capacitive pad for high SPL's and a Low Cut switch.
The electronics do not include any surface mount components, using instead low ESR electrolytic capacitors and a unique FET circuit. This results in impressively low noise and extended HF characteristics. The U195 also boasts impressive headroom avoiding the harshness of other FET microphones while a large output transformer ensures a coherent signal across the full audio spectrum including superb bass response.
