Luke Audio Introduces Gold Microphone Series
Gold Standard Series with gold sputtered, hand tuned capsules
NASHVILLE, TN (Sept 24, 2018) - Luke Audio has added the Gold Standard Series to their current line of microphones and unique capsules. The new Gold Standard AL-Y56-G (MAP $699) large diaphragm, tube condenser, “bottle” microphone provides a more affordable alternative compared to their hand-built Platinum Series - while not sacrificing audio quality. The AL-Y56-G microphone package comes with three distinctly voiced, interchangeable capsules (A1AU, A2AU, A3AU). Each capsule is a unique ‘classic’ type reproduction with 3 micron mylar diaphragms, gold sputtered and hand tuned - yielding a smooth and natural response.
Package ($699) includes Y56 Bottle microphone, 3 interchangeable capsules, power supply, 7 pin XLR cable, wooden mic box, wooden capsule box, aluminum flight case, shock mount, windscreen & power cable.
Luke Audio founder Allen Luke commented, “Compared to the platinum capsules, the gold sputtered capsules have a slightly slower transient response resulting in a smoother more ‘natural’ sound - but still in the same realm of sonic goodness as each capsules Platinum counterpart.” Audio examples are available for evaluation on www.lukeaudiollc.com.
Luke Audio Microphones return to AES for the New York 2018 Convention.
Release Update: All the capsules for both the Premium Platinum and the Gold Standard Series (exchangeable with the Y56 body) will be available for individual purchase.
