All the mics have a five year warranty.Violet Design – Microphones from LatviaIt is almost impossible to picture today’spro audio and recording industry withouttechnological innovations and expressivedesigns introduced by Violet microphones.Microphones are made in Latvia in thesame factory which has within the lastdecade already achieved great popularityworldwide with the quality and design oftheir microphones.Violet Design was founded in 2003 byStanislav Rubintsik. The company is aworldwide distribution centre and salesrepresentative ofViolet and Flamingobrand microphones.The factorystarted tomanufacturemicrophone capsulesin late 1994.Our first capsuleswere placed inlegendary vintagemicrophones: U47,M49, M50, C12, andthe 414. In 1997,the capsule of anew generation wasborn, and we namedit the JZ002. Nowyou can get thesame – perfect andoriginal – sound andexpressive designwith the Violet lineof microphones.The Black Knight -Bestseller from theViolet line.PhilosophyOur mainphilosophy is tooffer handcraftedmicrophones witha unique look andan adorable soundquality, usinginnovative solutions in the microphonemanufacturing without losing the bestdetails of vintage sound.We believe that in the process of musicrecording the most important things arepassion and inspiration and nothing shouldbe in the way of these two. So in ourideology of microphones we trust in threesimple points:• It must sound good• It must look nice• It must be as simple as possibleThe nice look gives you the possibilityto grab inspiration, even at the time ofrecording. Simplicity grants microphonesa long life and durability. After havingrecorded, you will never be surprised byincorrect settings, as there will be a chanceto change them.And most importantly – if it’s amicrophone, it must do its job as well aspossible. To improve our microphonessonically, we have been investing a lot in ourresearch laboratories.CapsuleThe heart of the microphone is its capsule –our handcrafted highest quality electrostatictransducers provide high output of thebest quality audio signal and can handleextremely high SPL at the same time.Internal Class-A transformer less discreteelectronics quality is adequate, providinghard to measure noise and distortionparameters. However – our mic housingdesigns are based on acoustic ideas first.After a big number of experimental jobsin our laboratory, in September 2005 weannounced our latest capsule diaphragmtechnology. We introduced the new mixedgold-copper-aluminum composite coatingmaterial, layered diaphragm sputteringand variable coating thickness, addingtransparency, better sound commutationwith membrane and reducing parasiticinternal resonances and reflexions.PRODUCTS:The AmethystThe design of the Amethyst microphonesallows them to be used very close to thesound source and together with the optional,original style ASM shockmount whichallows easy positioning. In addition, therelatively small size of the head and opensquare grille of the Amethyst provides atransparent detailed sound. The quality andcharacteristics of the Amethyst make it theideal choice for home recording studioswhere you need one microphone formultiple applications.The GlobeThe very compact design of the Globe allowsit to be used in applications where roomspace is limited, the sound associated witha U47 or U67 is desired, and the use of aclassic design microphone is impossible.Together the shockmounted head andcapsule and included GSM shockmountstop any unwanted noises. This microphoneis very popular among the end users, aswell as the press, and has several 10-starmagazine reviews.The Black KnightThis microphone is the best selleramong Violet microphones for home andprofessional studios. It has a unique, veryopen head grille that gives the user theability to record a big airy sound, and it hasan integrated swivel head mount for easypositioning of the capsule head.The PearlThe Pearl was originally designed for livestage use as a handheld vocal microphone,but at the end became a unique studiomicrophone. The beauty of the Pearl isthat the artist can achieve the same soundeverywhere by using the same microphone.34 VIOLET
