The JS-1 Tube + PS-9 is a studio microphone setup that includes the JS-1 Tube microphone and the PS-9 external power supply. The microphone is a large diaphragm vacuum tube microphone, which means it utilizes a vacuum tube to capture audio signals. The vacuum tube adds warmth and body to the sound, resulting in a rich and vintage-like tone.
The JS-1 Tube microphone offers an extended frequency response, meaning it can capture a wide range of frequencies accurately. This is beneficial for capturing a detailed and realistic sound, especially in recording studio environments.
The PS-9 external power supply is responsible for providing the necessary power to the JS-1 Tube microphone. It also offers 8 switchable pickup patterns. Pickup patterns determine the directionality of the microphone and how it captures sound. The ability to switch between different pickup patterns allows for versatility in recording various sources, such as vocals, instruments, or room ambience.
To ensure stability and reduce unwanted vibrations, the JS-1 Tube + PS-9 package comes with a spider shock mount. The shock mount is designed to hold the microphone securely while minimizing any mechanical noise or vibrations that could affect the recording.
Overall, the JS-1 Tube + PS-9 setup is geared towards professional studio recording, offering a combination of extended frequency response, tube warmth, versatile pickup patterns, and stability through the included shock mount.
