Petrungaro Condenser Microphone

Petrúngaro Condenser Microphone

In my more than 30 year-long career path surrounding recording studios, I have observed the taste, preferences and needs that artists, musicians, producers and recording engineers have in the process of making a record.

Having gone through this whole path, from an engineering point of view, and seeing what I consider to be the do's and don'ts in microphone designs, some in which I took part of, and others that I have modified, I found myself in the need to create a microphone designed to reach the majority of sound capture scenarios.

The product resulting of this search is a tube condenser microphone based on the structure of the legendary Neumann U67 (with its particular EF86 pentode) and the combination with its predecessor, the U47, which gives us a warm and deep low end. Meaning that we get a microphone that has the musicality, warmth and versatility provided by the U67, with the added low end from the U47, an overwhelming and subtle formula that makes it a one-of-a-kind tool, that together with its vintage design, conform an exquisite product to capture sounds.

All that's left is to let yourselves be seduced by its presence.

Respectfully.
