Peluso Microphone Lab P-280

Peluso P-280 combines a miniature 5654W/EF95 pentode tube with a solid-state circuit in a single amplifier stage, delivering a very low noise floor while keeping tube warmth in the signal path.

6dB(A) of Noise Without Giving Up the Tube

Typical tube microphones settle for a 14-18dB(A) noise floor — the P-280's hybrid tube/FET design brings that down to 6dB(A), making it a real option for quiet acoustic recordings where a classic tube mic would add too much background hiss.

A Machined Brass Body and 9 Patterns in a Practical Package

A machined brass body and head grille provide mechanical solidity, and nine polar patterns, switchable from the included MX-56 power supply, let the mic adapt to different applications — from vocals to voiceover work in a quiet room.

A screw-on medical-grade 8-pin connector adds extra mechanical security for the cable, useful for a microphone that travels frequently between the studio and live gigs.
