sE Electronics Z5600a Multi-Pattern Tube Condenser Microphone
The Z5600a is the second generation of sE’s previously top-of-the-line Z5600 mic. Both are 9-pattern large-diaphragm tube mics. What is the difference between the z5600 and z5600a? The circuit board was redesigned, improving the layout, for the ‘a’ revision. The mic body was changed as well; the new version is powder-coated as a step toward damping resonance. The tube is either a 12AT7/ECC81, or a 12AX7/ECC83. MusicTech reported seeing a 12AX7; Electronic Musician reported a 12AT7. It seems possible that SE changed the tube without again revising the mic’s model number. It is socketed, rather than hard-wired to the circuit board; users of various audio forums have reported success with tube upgrades to 6072 variants. The Z 5600 A’s wide body holds a 12AT7 tube.found in many high quality tube devices. Whereas most of others use an under powered tube in the circuit to generate a little distortion (that can then be attributed to the tube), the Z 5600 A uses the 12AT7 in a traditional high-voltage circuit… The Z 5600 A shines when used it to mic vocals and stringed instruments, especially those with metal strings. MusicTech, 2004-12 In cardioid mode, the slightly spiky high frequencies of the original 5600 have been tamed and, overall, the sound is more obviously “valvey” than both the old Z5600 and SE Gemini. . The SE Electronics Z5600a is also known as: Z-5600a. The mic was released in 2004. MSRP $899 US. The only difference between this mic and the newer SE5600AII is that the newer mic has a low cut filter and a 10 db Cut with a Max SPL: 135 dB. which sells for $999 US They both have the exact same frequency response and polar patterns.
