Monheim Bottle Microphone System

The legendary Bottle Microphone system has returned. 

In conjunction with legendary Bottle Microphone founder, and designer, Martins Saulespurens, we bring the masterpiece back to the studio. 

The Bottle ships with our four custom painted finishes and the standard K67 capsule by default.  When you order you can select an alternate capsule or color.  

The Bottle is hand built and assembled in the USA and includes Latvian made parts, including the original Bottle transformer design.

The Bottle is a vacuum tube condenser microphone with interchangeable capsules, making it suited for a wide variety of applications. It combines modern technology with the time tested vintage architecture of tube microphones, delivering a unique and characterful sound unlike any other.

The Bottle has interchangeable Bottle Capsules, that completely change the microphone's character.  You're literally customizing the sound for your needs.  Everything from modern Pop sounds, to warm vintage tones, are available with one swap. Included with the Bottle is the standard K67 capsule, a powerful dual backplate cardioid capsule with huge body, and crisp high-mids. The Class-A circuitry of the Bottle is combined with an EF86 pentode vacuum tube for warmth and dynamic response.  The EF86 tube is an individually selected, and tested, NOS vintage EF86 that meets the demanding Monheim standards for excellence.

A step forward was taken with the capsule mount, which now boasts a push button locking swivel designed for flexibility and rugged durability. Our growing capsule designs will vary in size and weight, and the locking swivel capsule mount is designed to ensure mechanical durability and excellence.

The marriage of vintage and modern technology allows the Bottle to stand out from the crowd with a sound all its own.  In fact, it's your sound!
