Violet Design Ltd. Flamingo Junior
Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The Flamingo Junior Standard, aka “The Junior,” and the Flamingo Junior Vintage, are downsized, cardioid only, FET versions of the company’s high-end Flamingo tube microphones.
The Junior Standard and Junior Vintage differ in only two respects:
- The Vintage is tuned to more closely resemble the sound of vintage mics, with warmer mids and diminished highs, and
- the body is painted matte black instead of polished violet.
The hardware for both mics is identical. The capsule employs a single, 26mm (large) diaphragm, shockmounted within a head described as “acoustically transparent;” it consists of multiple layers of brass mesh. Electronics are Class A and include a custom-wound humbucking transformer (as in the tube versions).

The custom-tuned frequency response has smooth enhancement at the lowest registers, mid-range at 2kHz-3kHz, and also in the 12kHz region, yielding recordings with low-end punch and high-end air.
Both models are phantom powered.
The Violet Design Ltd. Flamingo Junior is also known as: Junior, Flamingo-Jr, Flamingo Jr.
