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.
Consistency
Violet Design applies old-world craftsmanship with meticulous attention to component selection, capsule tensioning, manufacturing processes, and rigorous testing of individual completed microphones in an anechoic chamber to assure high unit to unit consistency.
Exotic Styling
The physical designs are unique, focusing on minimizing acoustic reflections and resonances which could color the sound, while also providing a tool of beauty, executed with extraordinary fit and finish.
"The Amethyst" Standard uses single diaphragm capsule and is designed for what we know as the modern sound - with airy highs, extended vocal presence, accented low end response and unidirectional cardioid pattern.Both "The Amethyst" models are based on our own original true electrostatic capsules. Large size diaphragms are made of the highest quality 6-micron Mylar film. Using our original technology the diaphragms are tensioned and adjusted on precisely made brass backplates. The diaphragms are sputtered with our special formula gold mixture. It gives them faster impulse transient response without sound coloration or low frequency reduction, and adds the ability to handle louder sound pressure levels. At the end of the manufacturing process each capsule is carefully checked for all parameters and measured in an anechoic chamber for optimum of performance.Unidirectional cardioid polar pattern reduces ambient studio noise. Both microphone models have minimal proximity effect and are linear over the wide frontal incidence angle. The microphones headgrill is made as acoustic filter of multilayer brass mesh that reduces plosive sounds, breath, pop and wind noises, minimizes internal resonance effects, but keeps high frequencies and sound transparency. Additional metal mesh studio pop filter and polyurethane open cell foam windscreen are available as options.The internal solid state preamplifier of the microphone is based on class-A fully discrete transformerless electronics circuit, built using only the highest quality selected components. The circuit is designed under the highest audio standards and provides linear audio frequency range, high dynamics, low self-noise, and very low audio distortion of all types. "The Amethyst" requires quality and stable 48 V phantom power."The Amethyst" is ready for direct mounting on the standard microphone stand. Rugged microphone construction and two internal shockmounts, separately for the capsule and for the electronics, effectively reduces stand rumble, outside infrasonic interference and mechanical shocks.
