Studio Projects TB1 Details The TB1 is a vacuum tube (valve) microphone incorporating the
philosophy that the best microphones use high quality, yet minimal
components, along with hand selected tubes. Using the finest available
materials to build the best possible capsule, the Studio Projects TB1
achieves this philosophy and more. Valve microphones have long been
appreciated by studio engineers for their warm yet natural sound. The
Studio Projects TB1 provides audiophile sound engineers with the
classic vacuum tube design combined with today's better quality
components.
The circuit design of the TB1 uses as few components
as necessary to prevent added noise and coloration. A special hand
selected 6072 "dual triode" vacuum tube is used to ensure consistency.
The TB1 is powered by a dedicated AC power supply (DJ8). The TB1
provides the warm transparent sound associated with an expensive
quality vacuum tube preamplifier. This perceived sound characteristic
has been very popular and sought after for vocals and instrumentation
soloists.
The TB1 is the absolute stand alone value in it's
price class comparing to models costing as much as $3,000.00. There is
no better value on today's market at any price, and the TB1 is so
affordable, every professional and project studio can afford one, or a
pair for stereo recording or more.
