The Dovetail

Introducing The Dovetail: Passive M/S stereo encoder and mic transformer

 

The Dovetail is the new passive Mid-Side stereo encoder from Glen Glenn Audio.

The Dovetail accepts mic or line level input from two microphone sources. One of your mics must be in the figure-8 polar pattern. The other mic can be in just about any polar pattern, but we suggest omnidirectional for the most open and transparent stereo image. The Dovetail outputs a true L/R stereo image.

Unlike powered Mid-Side encoders The Dovetail can be placed before or after your favorite microphone preamplifiers in your signal chain. Versatility is the goal.

Mid-Side stereo is a beautiful image in applications where you want to capture some of your room’s natural reverb.

Price: $799
