Every Studio Should Have a Mic Like This: My First Look at the Amethyst Condenser by JZ Microphones

The Amethyst condenser mic is a hand-built large diaphragm condenser from the late, prolific mic designer Juris Zarins, who made countless designs for BLUE, Violet and JZ microphones.

Justin Colletti puts it through its paces and compares its sound to two other mics viewers of this channel are likely to be familiar with. What do YOU think of the sound? Let us know in the comments below.
