Yes, it can be ordered as a matched pair.

I don't believe so.. But, he usually makes one for every mic that's sold.

Yes, it looks like most of these share the same metalwork. Peluso sources the metalwork from overseas for this mic (like all of their mics).

But, the capsule & circuit are Peluso designs made here in the U.S., and the tube is an EF732, compared to the other units. So, it may look the same but it's different inside.

Any idea how these compare with the Groove Tubes GT-44/AM-40? They have approximately the same size capsule (.75" for the GT and .709" for the Peluso). At a quick glance, it appears the Peluso has somewhat better specs, but I'm not sure how that translates in practical application. I have a couple GT-44/AM-40s and have been quite happy with them.

I don't think anyone can say either way, until some of these P28's start hitting the streets.

Still need a frequency response graph. Went to the site & none of his mic's show a freq. response graph. This would be very helpful. Can't imagine buying any mic without seeing its freq. response graph first.
Thanks - Matt

Yeah, it looks like it might also have roll off and pad switches on the collar like the GT-44.

The tubes are:

GT-44 uses GT6205-M -- a Mil Spec sharp cutoff RF pentode. European equivalent is an EF734. GT uses these in its tube mics and in the instrument input of the Vipre. I think these are also used in M-Audio tube mics (probably built by GT --surprise!).

Peluso uses EF732 -- a sharp cutoff RF pentode. US equivalents are 5840 and 5901 tubes. Near as I can tell, this is a pretty commonly used tube in modern tube mics (e.g., Soundeluxe, Telefunken).

I don't know enough about these tubes to meaningfully compare and contrast, although they appear similar. Perhaps one of the gurus on the board can chime in.

Guys... they're all the same metal work. That's it. The mic bodies come from China. It's completely different inside (capsule, tube, circuit, etc).

I just surprised it took this long for SD tube mics to be copied. I have a pair of neumann km54s and some 'Hungarian' schoeps 221b mics. I use them all the time and they're wonderful.
