Why Violet Design?

Violet Design microphones offer exceptional performance resulting from meticulous attention to electronic and acoustical design and component selection. We utilize our own unique handmade true electrostatic brass body capsules with 6-micron Mylar diaphragms with sputtered gold coatings. Each capsule is carefully tensioned and tuned to deliver excellent transient response and high SPL handling capability. The internal electronics are Class 'A' fully discrete designs for flat audio response, high output and very low noise and distortion. Most of the designs are transformerless, but where transformers are employed, they are custom-made Permalloy humbucking transformers which handle high levels without saturation. read more
