Do Transformer Mics Make a Difference? A First Look at the BB29 from JZ Microphones (With Giveaway!)

March 17th, 2021 by

Do transformers make a real difference in mic design? Hear for yourself and decide!

Some say they can have airier highs, more supple lows, and a little bit of nice saturation or transient smoothing. Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Justin Colletti evaluates the latest from JZ Microphones, the BB29, their first design to feature a transformer. It’s voiced brighter than their other mics on top, but with warmth from the transformer and a slight midrange bump.
