TT 47-Au: The GK47 Capsule has Medium Mids with a softer top.
TT 49-Au: The GK49 Capsule features a very smooth, dark top, but a full mid and bottom end. Great for getting that extremely vintage vibe on would-be harsh sources. Perfect for strings.
TT 67-Au: The GK67 Capsule has a 60's vibe w. Slightly Mellow Tone and a little extra Mids. Same capsule found in the popular Hamburg 67-Au Microphone.
