VIOLET FLAMINGO JUNIOR

"The Junior" model uses unidirectional single diaphragm large size capsule VD26. Microphones sound conception is based on vintage tone with some modern add of transparent highs, optimal vocal presence and fundamental low frequency register.

"The Junior" microphone is based on original construction true electrostatic capsule. Large size diaphragm is made of the highest quality film and sputtered with special formula of gold mixture providing fast impulse transient response, minimum sound coloration, and handling high sound pressure levels. Sputtered diaphragm is tensioned on special construction adjustable brass back-plate. At the end of the manufacturing process each capsule is carefully tested for all parameters and measured in an anechoic chamber for optimum of performance.

"The Junior" is unidirectional microphone, usable from an active side of the capsule marked with "Violet Design" logo on microphone body. Cardioid polar pattern reduces ambient studio noise, increases separation from unwanted sound sources and reduces acoustical feedback. Frontal incidence is wide enough to quality record sounds from different angles. Proximity effect (low frequency dependence from sound source distance) is minimal.

Microphones both side open spherical form head-grille is made as acoustic filter of multilayer brass mesh that reduces plosive sounds, breath, pop and wind noises, but keeps frequency response and sound transparency close to unaffected.

Rugged microphone body and original construction internal shock-mount for microphones capsule head effectively reduces stand rumble, infrasonic interference and mechanical shocks. The compact external studio shock-mount is included with every "The Junior" microphone as standard accessory.

The internal solid state preamplifier of the microphone is based on class-A fully discrete electronics circuit, built using the best quality selected components. The circuit is designed under the highest audio standards and provides linear audio frequency range, high dynamics, ultra-low self noise, and very low audio distortion of all types. Custom made large size output transformer balances output circuit, separates microphone from external interference and provides some additional â€oanalogâ€? warmth to the sound.

"The Junior" requires quality and stable 48V phantom power. It is available from external microphone preamplifier and mixing console inputs or from separate phantom power supply units, but some units, though rated as 48V sources, may supply inadequate and/or unstable phantom power, which can result in distortion and degraded performance. Please check your phantom power source under real microphone load.

We recommend using of our audiophile quality quad microphone cable with gold plated contact connectors to minimize external interference, cable noise, signal loss and to maximize contact quality. The cables are available as option. Under the special order "The Junior" microphones are available in matched stereo pairs to provide balanced stereo recordings.

"The Flamingo Junior" Series of studio microphones are side-addressed unidirectional microphones designed for professional audio recording where sound quality and musical character is of the utmost importance. "The Junior" uses a single-diaphragm cardioid electrostatic transducer, providing vintage tone with transparent highs, optimized vocal presence and fundamental low-frequency register with minimal proximity effect. The acoustically transparent head construction reduces internal resonances, optimizes the polar pattern and keeps sound details as close to unaffected as possible. There is an integrated shockmount within the head and an external compact studio shockmount included to reduce stand rumble, outside infrasonic interference and mechanical shocks.

"The Junior" is available in 2 styles. "The Flamingo Junior Standard" has a polished violet body and "The Flamingo Junior Vintage" has a matte black body. Matched stereo or surround sets can be special ordered. The use of an external pop filter is recommended for close vocals.
