High quality vintage style active ribbon microphone that combines the best of two worlds; the warmth of a ribbon and the stability of a F.E.T. buffer amplifier. This means that it can be used with long cables and virtually any pre-amp featuring 48V phantom power. A clean and clear sound, yet warm and punchy is what the microphone will deliver in most cases. It is perfect for drums, as an ambience mic or in pairs for O.H. pickup, but it sounds great on most instruments. The microphone is in fact a very versatile, even suitable for some sensitive vocal recording, thanks to its switches for low cut and 10dB pad.
