The Peluso P-24 is a professional-grade stereo tube condenser microphone designed as a tribute to the renowned AKG C 24, incorporating dual large diaphragm condenser (LDC) vacuum tube systems, 9 polar patterns per capsule, a 6072AM vacuum tube amplifier stage, and advanced flexibility for X-Y, Mid-Side, and Blumlein recording techniques.

Advanced Stereo Design and Versatile Configuration

The P-24 integrates two complete LDC microphone systems within a single body, featuring vertically stacked capsules with the upper capsule capable of rotating 180 degrees. This innovative arrangement allows users to easily configure the microphone for coincident stereo techniques such as X-Y, Mid-Side, and Blumlein. Each capsule offers nine selectable polar patterns controlled remotely via the microphone’s power supply, providing unmatched flexibility for various recording environments.

Independent Signal Chains with Superior Components

The P-24 employs two independent signal chains, each routed through high-impedance circuit boards and custom-designed output transformers. Both systems are powered by a single vintage 6072AM glass triode vacuum tube. The microphone’s dual-circuit configuration biases the tube grid differently, enhancing low-end frequency response, while grounding the tube anode differently to produce a smoother, fuller high-end.

Engineering Excellence: Redesigned Components for Optimal Performance

To accommodate the stereo design, Peluso re-engineered key components. The power supply was redesigned to handle the unique demands of a stereo vacuum tube microphone. A custom 12-pin screw-on cable was developed to deliver power and signal while meeting the additional conductor requirements. Dual custom-wound T14/1 transformers ensure each signal retains clarity and warmth, delivering a high-fidelity audio experience.

Heritage Meets Innovation

While the P-24 shares its lineage with the Peluso P-12, inspired by the classic AKG C 12, the dual-circuit design of the P-24 introduces subtle yet significant tonal differences. The combination of vintage tube amplification and modern engineering results in a microphone that offers a richer low end and a more refined top end, making it a standout choice for demanding audio professionals.

The P-CK-12 Capsule: The Heart of the P-24

At the core of the P-24 lies the dual 32mm P-CK-12 edge-terminated capsules. These precision-crafted components ensure exceptional detail and tonal accuracy, capturing sound with unmatched fidelity and nuance.

Complete Microphone System

The Peluso P-24 comes as a comprehensive system, including the microphone, a stereo power supply, a durable 12-pin screw-on stereo cable assembly, a shock mount, and a locking padded flight case. This all-inclusive package ensures professionals have everything they need to achieve stellar results in any recording environment.
