Violet Design The Flamingo Junior Black Vintage Cardioid Microphone

This is a seldom used microphone NOTE - the grill has been slightly dented (flattened) on one side, which I tried to show in the picture. The Violet Design The Flamingo Junior Black is a large-diaphragm, side-address condenser microphone featuring a unidirectional cardioid polar pattern and a 26mm gold-sputtered electrostatic capsule. Its sound character is defined by vintage tonal qualities with transparent highs, optimal vocal presence, and fundamental low-frequency register, achieved through fully discrete Class-A electronics and a custom-wound output transformer for added warmth. Key technical specifications include a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, a self-noise level of 7.5 dB-A, and a maximum SPL of 134 dB. The microphone measures 210 mm in height with a 48 mm diameter, weighs 440 g, and requires +48V phantom power. It is available in two cosmetic variants: the Standard with a polished violet body and the Vintage with a matte black body, though both share identical acoustic and electronic performance. Applications: Highly versatile for vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, drums, percussion, and brass/wind instruments. Design Features: Includes an integrated internal shock-mount and an external compact studio shock-mount to reduce stand rumble and mechanical shock; features a multi-layer brass mesh grille that acts as an acoustic filter to reduce plosives and wind noise while maintaining sound transparency. Comparison: The Flamingo Junior Black (Vintage) is tonally similar to the standard version but tuned to resemble vintage microphones with warmer mids and diminished highs.
