SE Electronics Z3300A - SOS review new
      #23759 - 29/09/04 10:35 AM
Edit post Edit   Reply to this post Reply   Reply to this post Quote  
I'm confused (not unusual): -

In Paul White's August 04 review of the Z3300A it's referred to as a "valve mic", but describes the innards as Class A FET components on glass fibre circuit boards.

On SE Electronics' website the Z3300A is listed under "condenser mics" rather than "tube mics" and the spec makes no mention of a valve/tube.

Is it just that the manufacturer's website is unclear?

Oops! I think you've spotted this month's deliberate mistake. The Z3300A is definitely NOT a valve microphone. It uses a conventional solid-state impedance converter/preamp and runs on standard phantom power.

Apologies for the confusion. I'll arrange to get the website version of the review updated asap.

See how I just assumed SOS is always right?

My bad. Must have got confused with the Z5600A while I was putting the layout together. D'oh! Hopefully we can change this in the web archive.
