True to SPL's philosophy, the GoldMike features the sound enhan- cing FLAIR circuitry. More than simply a
FLAIR boosts the frequency range from 1.5 kHz to 20 kHz. The center frequency, set at 6 kHz, is boosted 2.5 dB and applied mainly to the harmonic content and format frequencies of voices and acoustic instruments. And finally, the FLAIR's output is mixed right along with the original source signal by the tube during the tube amplification stage.
The resulting recorded signal resounds with more detail, intelli- gibility, presence and cut- through. The FLAIR circuitry is especi- ally valuable when working in an HD recording environment because of the great sounding signal it delivers at the outset, thereby sparing you hours of fixing a compromised recording.
Each of the GoldMike's channels is equipped with a backlit VU meter (calibrated to 0 dBu) that displays the unit's output level. Five LEDs per channel display the current operating status.
The WARM UP LED, located next to the power switch, remains lit until the unit's tubes reach their optimum operating condition. As long as the WARM UP LED is lit, no output is available.
