About the GT-1857 Microphone
We present our GT-1857 bidirectional ribbon microphone; a microphone with incredible sound characteristics that provides high quality in capturing instruments and vocals.
The GT-1857 is manufactured with high-quality components, resulting in super-faithful capture of sound sources.
It is a versatile microphone, even though it is a ribbon microphone, as its construction was designed to meet a wide range of captures, allowing it to be used in practically everything in the studio.
We paid special attention when designing the GT-1857, so that it would be more efficient for recording guitars, being positioned in front of the cabinets/speakers. However, after 100% design and testing, it became clear that, in addition to being a very special microphone for guitarists, the GT-1857 is also incredible for recording vocals, drum overs and other instruments.
In short, we can say that the GT-1857 is an unparalleled microphone for guitarists, but it also serves many other purposes!
The GT-1857 is equipped with a nanocrystalline toroidal core audio transformer and a pure aluminum ribbon element imported from Japan. Its sound is soft, with a vintage characteristic of ribbon mics from the 40s to the 70s.
As a figure 8, it is a mic that captures from the front and back (bidirectional).
The front presents a sound characteristic with a little more presence and softness.
The back presents a more "dark" characteristic, giving a greater sensation of depth.
Its body, components and internal parts are all made of metal. The motor is made of carbon steel, composed of 3420 Gauss Neodymium magnets. With a smaller and much more efficient motor, the ribbon is now smaller, providing better sound quality and greater durability.
In addition to all these details, the GT-1857 is super easy to attach for use, as it comes with a support built into the microphone itself, to be screwed directly onto the stand.
It also has an XLR connector with a high-quality cable coming directly from the microphone, giving it a special charm, just like some old ribbon microphone models, such as RCA and other brands.
It's not over yet! In addition to all these wonderful details, the GT-1857 comes with a beautiful luxury case, to be stored safely.
We emphasize the importance of using balanced cables to get the most out of the GT-1857, and the crucial caveat: never activate the 48V Phantom Power.
Let yourself be enveloped by the sound magic of the GT-1857!
Use and care tips
The GT-1857 ribbon microphone is in the low gain class, so it is suitable for higher sound volumes such as guitars and wind instruments.
To ensure good pickup of acoustic guitars and vocals, for example, we recommend a gain of 40 dB or more on your preamp.
We do not recommend leaving the phantom power on while using our GT-1857 ribbon microphone.
We build our microphones to last as long as possible.
When storing, keep them in the case in an upright position. This will ensure that the ribbon lasts longer over the years.
Use the pop filter to record vocals. The filter prevents wind from damaging the ribbon.
To record bass drums, we recommend positioning the microphone at a 45-degree position and also using the pop filter.
It is not recommended to place the GT-1857 Ribbon Microphone directly on the bass drum's air outlet.
