Vacuum Tube

The world view is that many of the greatest microphones in history, and the greatest microphones that are currently being built are indeed Vacuum tube microphones (valve mics). Sound Pure represents the finest tube microphones currently being manufactured which span the full range of budgets. Our offerings range in prices and budgets from very affordable to the most exclusive and discriminating microphones for which their cost is when budget is not at issue. At Sound Pure, we believe that microphone testing, and listening should be conducted blindly, frequently, and as often as possible. While we recognize price is a factor, great microphones are available at many price points, and while not everyone can afford a single large diaphragm tube mic for $10k, there are many microphones available sub $2k, or even sub $1k that perform in a league that places them among the greatest microphones (and also the most pricey microphones) in existence. Given that we have a world-class recording facility here, and have the pleasure of working with not only world-class musicians in general, but many of these musicians will let us test the latest new gear on them. Between our youtube campaign, our numerous shootouts and microphone events here, and a mic locker that doesn’t quit, Sound Pure is in a position unlike any other company in the industry to point you to the perfect microphone that meets both your aesthetic tastes, your studios needs, and your budget. We are constantly testing, retesting, and demo’ing new microphones and existing classics, on a multitude of exceptional sound sources, and in a unique position to share these experiences with you, and provide you the best possible advice. At Sound Pure we don’t just represent a bunch of lines “that we can get,” we actually use all the mics that we represent in serious recording studio environment, and when you call us, you can get advice that you can rely on. If you prefer, you can come visit our facility in person, and demo a huge collection of the greatest mics currently being built. Whether you are looking for a large diaphragm tube microphone, a small diaphragm tube pencil mic, or even one of the new active tube-ribbon microphones, Sound Pure has the mic for you. We are only here to help, share our expertise with you, and get you into the best microphone for your budget. Please don’t hesitate to give us a call, we are here to help! (view less)
