Product Overview
Superior materials and construction make this one of the more robust ribbon microphones.
- Bi-directional polar pattern delivers premier, completely symmetrical audio with superior off-axis rejection
Revolutionary Roswellite proprietary ribbon material replaces traditional foil ribbons with high tensile strength, toughness and shape memory that provides superior resilience at extreme SPLs
Custom ribbon motor assembly tailors bass response without attenuating the overall output for full low and mid ranges, and superior upper range presence from a rising frequency response
Double-shielded matched full-sized transformer minimizes signal loss and maximizes output while reducing magnetic and RF interference from 90 degree placement, offset relative to the ribbon
146dB SPL across 30 — 15,000 Hz frequency response ideal for capturing fast transients in vocals, acoustic instruments and concert halls
Legendary Shure quality and superior construction from hand-assembly of machined steel, silver, gold and aluminum materials, and housed in a pure stainless steel casing
Spring-loaded suspension shock mount for flexible, fully-isolated stand mounting.
Upright protective wood case included for storage when not in use
