From Peluso Microphones
The P-24 hosts two complete large diaphragm condenser (LDC) vacuum tube microphone systems within a single microphone body. The two capsules are located directly above each other with the upper capsule capable of rotating 180 degrees. This configuration provides for quick coincident capture in X-Y, Mid-Side, and Blumlein techniques. Both the upper and lower capsules have 9 independently selectable polar patterns controlled remotely at the microphone power supply. The two signal chains run independently through individual high impedance circuit boards and isolated custom transformers, both powered by a single vintage 6072AM glass triode vacuum tube. While the similarities between the P-12 and the P-24 (as with the C 12 and C24) run very deep, there are a few key differences. The primary differences are subtle and come from running both circuits from the single 6072AM tube. The tube grid is biased differently with the load of both circuits yielding a better low-end response. Additionally, the anode of the tube is grounded differently providing a smoother and fuller top end.
