Professional Microphones

Violet Design professional microphones for studio and stage are manufactured to the highest standards in Latvia, Northern Europe.

 



Violet Design pride themselves on their research and development of microphone capsules, using no integrated circuits, but solid state, class-A fully discrete circuitry in order to maintain an unsurpassed clarity. Violet considers the capsule to be the heart of the microphone - the mylar film of the hand-built capsules are sputtered with a special, unique-to-Violet formula of 24-carat gold, of absolute pure (99.99%) quality and aluminium. This special film is tensioned to their own hand-built brass backplates, designed and manufactured in their purpose-built factory in Riga, Latvia.  This allows Violet Design to achieve the fastest transient response without the sacrifice of low-end frequencies. This manufacturing process is crucial to achieving the unique sound quality that is the trademark of a Violet Design microphone.
