About This Listing

The Josephson e22S Microphone is a side-address cardioid microphone that was designed to meet the needs of noted recording engineer Steve Albini.

The physical profile allows unobtrusive placement, even with tight percussion layouts. Unique among studio condenser microphones, the e22S capsule geometry is optimized for spot miking performance. The circuit uses a cascode discrete FET front end, combined with a custom Lundahl output transformer. The electronics were designed to interface easily with either transformer or direct coupled mic preamps. The e22S has low self-noise, so it delivers low level detail, and handles high sound pressure levels for minimal distortion on extremely loud passages. The microphone housing is very rugged, with a precision machined, satin black chrome finish.

Product Overview
Designed in collaboration with Steve Albini of Chicago's Electrical Audio recording studios, the Josephson e22S is a unique condenser microphone designed specifically for close-up drum recording...though the list of other instruments and applications where it excels is nearly endless. From cracking snare drums to rip roaring guitar cabinets, and even delicate female vocals, the e22S is anything but a one-trick pony and should be on the must-have list of every modern studio.
