Should i buy Gemini mk1 or Gemini mk2?

hotdrop · 11th February 2008

Hi,
I am going to buy a gemini and have a choice of a Gemini or Gemini mk2.
I know the mk2 has a pad and roll switch.
The difference is about €400.
I record mainly vocals acoustic and strings with the occasional electric.

The main questions i have for anyone who has tried them both are;

can you detect a big difference in the actual sound between the two, especially in vocals?

Is the lower signal noise ratio noticeable?

What would you buy?

Thanks a million for your advice.

Sound on Sound magazine reviewed both and said the newer one sounds very similar, but it has better spec's and filters built in. I would go with the Mk2
