General
Besides the BT201/1, JZ Microphones also offer a matched set of these small-diaphragm condenser mics, the BT201/1s for balanced stereo applications. Like the BT201/1, the BT201/1s mics both have interchangeable pickup patterns for switching the directional characteristic if desired. This remarkable feature makes this set of mics an interesting product indeed, especially considering its affordable price tag! The unique shape of each mic is easily aimed at any audio source, and the set comes complete in a specially-made wooden box.
Interchangeable capsules for flexibility
Both mics in this BT201/1s set have interchangeable capsules, which means you can switch the directional characteristic between omnidirectional, cardioid, open cardioid, or open cardioid with -20 dBs of attenuation for lower signals. Normally, there would be a switch on the microphone to do this, but with the BT201/1s, you can simply switch capsules without sacrificing any low or high frequencies. What's more, the patented Golden Drop Capsule which is found in all JZ microphones, ensures an ultra-fast response.
JZ Microphones
All JZ Microphones are made with class A electronics and components that are crafted and tested by hand, resulting in a pure audio signal before it even reaches your recording equipment. On top of that, electronics that are soldered by hand are resistant to overheating. At this time, JZ's Vintage series microphones do not have tubes. The internal circuitry is designed to function perfectly without them but able to emulate the characteristic sound of a tube mic. These mics don't contain any converters either, which makes them virtually noise-free.
