This TZ Audio Stellar X3 Microphone looks great, functions perfectly and includes everything just like it is brand new.
The TZ Audio Stellar X3 Microphone emphasizes on warmth and body. This gives the microphone a very classical vintage tonality with just the slightest touch of presence for detail and resolution. A successor to the Stellar X2, the Stellar X3 aims to improve all aspects of its predecessor. This includes an improved custom circuit, as well as a more carefully tuned capsule. In addition, the Stellar X3 features a new body design and a more reliable shock mount. The new custom circuit in the X3 boasts audiophile components of the highest quality such as German capacitors. The K67 style capsule used in the X3 is made from pure brass and Japanese Mylar. It is gold sputtered using our proprietary technology making them more sensitive than traditional design. The combination of these features create a microphone that offers great tonality and performance.
K67 Style Capsule
Carefully Tuned Sound: The K67 capsule in the Stellar X3 is carefully tuned by hand. It provides a better off-axis coloration and a smoother mid range response than most K67 style capsules. Unique Capsule Design: The capsule is made with 3 micron mylar as opposed to the traditional 6 microns for added sensitivity which improves the S/N ratio. Our gold sputtering process is able to consistently and evenly distribute the gold on the mylar.
Highly Optimized Circuit
The Stellar X3 brand new transformerless JFET circuit has been carefully tested and measured via audio injection to provide the best response from our capsule. This creates a circuit that complements the K67 capsule beautifully by adding warmth and detail in just the right areas. Additionally, the circuit is able to handle transients well which makes it a great choice for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, and piano. Distortions are minimal, and, because of its transformerless nature, the circuit does not add any unwanted compression effect.
