Langevin CR2001 Microphone
The successor to the CR-3A produced from
1990 to 2001, the LANGEVIN CR-2001 is our entry model
cardioid capacitor microphone, very handy for recording
just about anything. The capsule is the same as his bigger
brother, the Manley Reference Cardioid, but the CR-2001
runs off standard 48 volt phantom power having an
all-discrete amplifier circuit employing very low noise
transistors and selected FET’s instead of tubes. (Well,
this is a less expensive mic!)

Reference Cardioid Microphone
The Reference Cardioid Microphone shares the
same electronic attributes as the Gold Reference Series,
but has a center-fixed cardioid-only capsule with a thicker
gauge (6 micron) gold sputtered diaphragm. With the similar
film thickness and construction, similar high frequency
resonance (a little edge), similar proximity effect and
pretty good immunity from pops and sibilance problems, our
Reference Cardioid more closely recalls how many of the
vintage European tube mics such as the beloved U47 sounded
like when they were new.

Gold Reference Multi-Pattern Microphone
The MANLEY GOLD REFERENCE MULTI-PATTERN MICROPHONES
are a statement, quite simply, of the finest microphones
that money can buy in the pursuit of truly accurate musical
recordings. The Gold Reference Series employ our own design
of large capsules (1.25 inch overall, 1 inch diaphragm
diameter) which are executed to precise tolerances made
possible by modern micro-milling machinery available today
in California. The capsule rings and back-plates are milled
from solid brass. The gold diaphragm film comes from
Germany and is tensioned using proprietary techniques by
David Josephson ensuring capsule-to-capsule constancy,
combined with the speed, "air", and superb ultra-high
frequency response you have only dreamt about.

Gold Reference Stereo Microphone
The STEREO version of our GOLD REFERENCE microphone
is identical in every respect to the MONO GOLD REFERENCE
but with two complete and carefully matched systems
installed in one case with the upper capsule being fixed
and the lower capsule being continuously ROTATABLE through
90° for M-S and X-Y BLUMLEIN-STYLE coincident pair
recording technique. Each capsule has its own continuously
variable PATTERN control and individual -10dB PAD switch.
