The Golden Drop Capsule (GDC)
The soul of each and every Black Hole Series microphone is the unique Golden
Drop Capsule (GDC) technology, created by JZ Microphones’ founder and lead
designer Juris Zarins.
Using this innovative technology, the capsule’s diaphragm is lighter; therefore, it
moves and gets to its default position faster than the same capsule’s diaphragm
without Golden Drop technology. It gives more clarity, precision, fewer
colorations and distortions in frequency response.
This method of capsule-making has been unique to JZ Microphones and since
the beginning and will remain a closely guarded secret.
GDC technology also allows you to create a matched pair using any two of the
Black Hole Series microphones that have already been crafted or will be
produced in future.
Electronics
All JZ Microphones products use Class A discrete electronics, where all
components are tested and measured for a maximum performance and grants
to the audio signal cleanest path and extremely low self noise properties before
any recording gear. All components are hand soldered by our engineers to avoid
overheating of selected parts. While soldering the components, either it is done
by un-experienced engineer or bad programmed machine, overheating can ruin
specifications of very carefully selected electronic part.
BH series microphones are tube-less at this point, therefore electronic circuit is
designed to work perfectly without tube as modern electronics is developed to
manage the signal path without it.
BH series microphones are transformer-less, therefore electronics are de-
signed to have maximum performance with minimum self noise without the
transformer.
BH1s and BH3 series microphones comes with a PAD switch to have an option to
lower the signal level from -5dB to -20dB depending on microphone model. Our
PAD switch is applied to microphone electronics circuit right after the capsule
which avoids to cut low and high frequencies destroying the signal quality,
