The Manley Labs Reference Mono Gold is a premium large diaphragm tube condenser mic with continuously variable polar pattern and a striking gold finish. The Gold Reference isn't just for looks, though -- the sound is absolutely stunning, with ultra-fast pickup that encompasses a certain presence and air reminiscent of vintage C12s and 251s. The ear of this microphone is a handmade edge-terminated capsule built by Josephson, one of the world's leaders in capsule design and manufacturing. Drop-dead gorgeous on female vocals, pianos and stringed instrument, the Manley Reference Mono Gold is one amazing tube mic fit for any serious stable.
