Sound Pure is excited to now be an official Luke Audio dealer! Upon receiving their AL-Y56 tube mic, we put it through the ringer and immediately found that it held its own against other LDCs 3 times its price. Plus, it's literally 3 mics in one! The hot-swappable capsule is a useful tool for experimentation and provides users with the convenience to explore 3 distinct (and classically voiced) capsules on any source, without delay. The AL-Y56 has gelled with every source that we've thrown it up against, and we can't wait to experiment even more!

The AL-Y56 is a high-end, large diaphragm, tube condenser, “pop top” microphone with three distinctly voiced, interchangeable, hand-built Gold-sputtered capsules. The extreme versatility of the Y56 with its 3, included, hot-swappable capsules yield a microphone capable of your wildest dreams. Each one of the Gold-sputtered capsules were built overseas and feature a slightly slower transient response resulting in a smoother more ‘natural’ sound - all while still retaining the same realm of sonic goodness as each of the capsules from its Platinum counterpart.”  It features a 6072a vacuum tube, 11.5:1 output transformer, 10dB pad, and only the finest hand selected components. From light and airy, to full and warm. The Y56 will supply you with the tonal characteristics you desire!
