THE GLOBE

The Globe Series of cardioid studio microphones are designed for world-class recording situations where
sound quality and musical character is of utmost importance. The Globe Standard is tuned for a classic,
wide-spectrum microphone sound ideal for instrument or orchestral applications. The Globe Vintage uses a
different dual-diaphragm capsule providing a sweet and warm, vintage vocal microphone sound. Both models
utilize an isolated spherical head assembly constructed of brass mesh for maximum acoustical transparency.
The large dual-diaphragm true electrostatic condenser capsules use the highest quality 6-micron Mylar film.
The diaphragms are tensioned and adjusted on precisely-made brass backplates and sputtered with a special­formula gold mixture. This process gives a faster impulse transient response without sound coloration or low­frequency reduction and adds the ability to handle louder sound pressure levels.

The internal solid-state preamplifier of the microphone is a Class 'A' fully discrete transformerless circuit, built
using only the highest quality components. The circuit is designed to achieve the highest audio standards and
provides a flat frequency response, high dynamics, low self-noise, and very low audio distortion of all types.
The Globe should be used with high quality, regulated 48V phantom power. Rugged microphone construction
and 2 internal shockmounts (one for the capsule and one for the electronics) effectively reduce stand rumble,
outside infrasonic interference and mechanical shocks.

APPLICATIONS

The Globe is an excellent choice for studio recording of vocals, piano, guitars, drums, percussion, strings, wind
and most other sound sources. The Globe Standard model is especially good for articulated female vocals
and other full range lead sounds. The Globe Vintage has a warmer lead tone and is ideally suited for close
male vocals. When used for vocals, close miking from 1/2" to 4" generally achieves the best results, so we
recommend the use of metal or foam pop filters for pop protection. The fast impulse transient response, crystal
clear highs and high SPL handling make it excellent for recording drums; especially for snare drum, overhead
and hi-hat. It is also excellent on piano, electric and acoustic guitars, bowed strings, and brass instruments.
