SOUNDELUX NOW SHIPPING THE E49 LARGE DIAPHRAGM CONDENSER MICROPHONE

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Transamerica Audio Group, the U.S. distributor for
Soundelux Microphones announces the new E49 large diaphragm condenser
microphone, based on the original 1952 German IRT design, is now shipping.
The original vintage tube 49 microphone is still the gold standard in
studios around the world, due to its incredible flexibility in any
application from distant orchestral recordings requiring a neutral sound
quality to close up micing where the tailored proximity effect is well known
and valued for achieving big vocal sounds.

Like the original, the Soundelux E49 is a remote variable pattern tube mic
that uses Soundelux' KK47 large diaphragm capsule and a unique head grille
design that replicates the original's acoustic and mechanical sonic
signatures. A specially designed Soundelux SteadyState(r) fixed-bias type
tube amplifier (similar to the original) is used but has lower noise and
distortion. The output transformer provides a correct impedance match to any
mic pre-amp input and, compared to transformerless designs, has lower
intermodulation distortion and significantly improved frequency linearity in
the low and middle frequencies. The E49 delivers a consistent and stable
sound; much longer term when compared to typical transformerless mic designs
whose sound quality changes over time because the large electrolytic
capacitors needed in the audio path 'age' over the years.

The E49 has a unique double shock mounting system. It includes a
capsule-to-electronics shock assembly and a separate capsule and electronics
package shock mount. This double system all but eliminates intrusive
mechanical vibration and noise from affecting the mic's sound.

The included universal outboard power supply has a continuous variable polar
pattern control that adjusts from figure-of-eight to cardioid and then to
full omni-directional. The E49 microphone comes in a wooden storage box
complete with a stand adapter and optional shock mount mic holder.

Transamerica Audio Group, founded by industry veteran Brad Lunde, has
quickly become the premier U.S. importer/distributor for high-end audio.
