A little tip for anyone who’s been saving their pennies for a Neumann U67. You might want to try a Gemini, from SE Electronics.
When producer Rob Aubrey needed to service his trusted Neumann U67, he discovered a worthy sE replacement for only marginally more than the U67’s service charge!
“My first purchase was the sE Gemini,” he says. “I then heard great reports about the ICIS and Z5600, so those were next on my shopping list along with the Reflexion Filter, mic stand and a stereo pair of SE3s.”
“With the Gemini I needed a large diaphragm mic to replace my trusted Neumann U67, which was in desperate need of a service. I was so happy with it that I sold the U67 after it came back from the service. That service cost me nearly as much as the Gemini itself! It is a superb replacement for the U67 and on both ICON albums I used it to record John Wetton’s lush vocal arrangements with ease.”
“I have also had a few occasions when only the biggest mic will do – the ‘ego’ of the vocalist requires something of equal magnitude. And I’m happy to say that the Gemini delivers on all counts!”
