These mics are just magic. Tonelux has captured everything that was great about the original C37a’s. I’ve used them on vocals, guitars, drum overheads & compressed mid rooms…they have a wonderful silky top end and have a way of smoothing out the source when it can be abrasive. Well done Tonelux!

Received the mics today. Beautiful. I stuck them up quickly as I was in a session on some rooms for drums and was pleasantly satisfied with the way they made the room sound, a room I know well.

Next we did grungy electric guitars and I had a pair of amps, the 37 stayed with my guitar setup all day. U67 on amps is my goto, but I was really blown away by the unique sound of these mics and I retired it after the first round of guitars for the 37.

Then we did a vocal. Last time this artist was here I used a C12 and was happy with the result for the most part. It was a very punchy type of male vocal, I tossed the 37 up. The high end blew me away. And it matched the song so well. The C12 I remember having to pull some things out in the mix to get it to sit right. I inserted an LA2A through the sound techniques and thoroughly enjoyed what I heard. It sat in the mix perfectly.

Can’t wait to try them on other sources. But I think these are going to be a daily driver for me.

Really excellent work guys. Absolutely smashed it.

Producer and engineer, Joe Chicarelli compares and explains the inspiration behind the Tonelux JC37 tube microphone 👂✨

With compression ratios from 1.5:1 up to 20:1, and an “OVER” mode for heavy transient control, our new Dynalux adapts from subtle glue to extreme shaping.

Pair that with ultra-fast attack options and an advanced three-stage release circuit, and you have a compressor that can shape anything from vocals to bus compression with precision and character.

"The JC37 is decidedly warm and sweet. Be prepared for it to sound different than the average mic that adds presence and brightness to cut through a mix, which describes most mics. If you have a source that calls for extra lower mid focus and an understated upper mid and treble, the JC37 is your ticket to warm creamy sweetness... the Tonelux is the king of cream."

Happy from this stereo pair of JC37 tube mics. One of our PSU's powers both mics making for a cleaner, quite portable and more cost effective setup.

Q: How close is your JC37 design to an original C-37? 🤔

A: It's so close that many parts from The Tonelux JC37 mic are actually interchangeable with damaged parts on a vintage Sony C-37A.
