"The Convertible" - A revolutionary microphone system of hot plug-able, interchangeable capsules designed and hand built by Tracy Korby. The authentic sound of vintage Elam, AKG, and Neumann Microphones from the past has been painstakingly recreated by Korby Audio Technologies. Sonically emulating the best of vintage high quality German and Austrian designs, The Convertible is presented in a smart package destined to become a classic in its own right. The hot-swappable capsules, allow the user to change heads without the need to power down. Simply, pull the entire grill/capsule assembly from the body and plug in a different assembly for a different classic sound. The Convertible amplifier is hand wired, using hand selected discrete components. Stringent testing of all components insures the highest quality and consistency. Classic hand-built assembly techniques from the past combined with modern machining and styling make the microphone electronically exceptional and visually pleasing. The first four capsules that accompany The Convertible are the most desirable time-honored design in the industry. The C-12 emulates the finest characteristics of the AKG C-12, including high resolution and the fine detailed top end known worldwide. The 47 brings the classic sound of a Neumann U-47... the rich smooth bottom end and lush tube sound that makes this the granddaddy of all tube microphones. The 251 resurrect that rare and special Elam 251 sound. Re-discover the silky smooth detailed top end and full bottom previously available to only a few lucky connoisseurs. The 67M improves upon the venerable Neumann U-67, providing not only a rich and full midrange, but complimenting that richness with improved high end for better clarity and top. It also extends the lows to bring that all-important bottom end back into the mix. The Convertible is a high quality microphone system that provides the ultimate in flexibility and return on investment; built with a high attention to detail, sound, performance, and quality. if you want the flexibility of four great sounding microphones, which pay more than a little homage to classic designs (and at a fraction of the price), the Convertible is well worth a listen. Korby Audio - At the cutting edge of microphone development. Korby Audio Technologies produce handmade, classic microphones.
