Tierra Audio New Twenties Condenser Microphone

The Tierra Audio New Twenties Condenser Microphone gives you a warm, deep and creamy sound, rich in harmonics and with the right balance of brightness in treble that will bring to your musical recordings and professional voiceovers a rounded sound body, both in studio and live, but always with the important dose of definition and presence that modern productions demand.

The capsule that captures the sound in the New Twenties is made in the USA from the highest quality materials. Tierra have put the enormous sensitivity of the expert hands and ears that have equipped some of the most legendary and renowned microphones in the industry at the service of your music.

The transformer in the New Twenties provides the harmonic richness essential to achieve that unique texture in the voice: rounded, creamy and present. Although it is not common to use transformers in this type of microphone, the engineers at Tierra loved the exciting 'black magic' they add to the enveloping dynamics of the timbre, and the attractive psychoacoustic effect they produce. The friendly folks at Lundahl specialize in audio and have been making the world a better place since 1958 with their handmade-in-Sweden transformers.

An impenetrable carbon steel shield

The outer chassis of the New Twenties is made of certified quality 304 stainless steel. A real super shield that not only resists the abrasion of aging, but also protects the electronics inside from shocks and noisy radio frequency electromagnetic pollution that is so damaging to sound.

Modern materials: recyclable, efficient, aesthetic and durable.

An anti-pop system like you've never seen before

The stylish and resistant anti-pop is made of three thin layers of mesh and textile strategically interspersed that progressively slow down the impact of the wind produced by the most conflicting syllables… without altering the sound of your voice! Forget the usual bulky anti-pop systems, effective but complex to position correctly, delicate to transport, and generally annoying and unsightly during music and dubbing sessions that include photography and video. The New Twenties anti-pop system is automatically positioned in the right place thanks to its N52 neodymium magnets, the most powerful in the world, coated with an epoxy film that maximizes its durability even in very humid environments, and prevents vibrations and unwanted marks on the surface of the microphone.

Time-inspired anti-vibration technology

After 100 years, it had to be possible to design a suspension system for the capsule much more sensitive and discreet than the traditional ones based on large cast iron springs. The solution was found in the workshops of the best master watchmakers and their precision micro-springs made from a stainless steel similar to the strings of a piano, tremendously resistant and with a spectacular memory effect.
