Studio ribbon microphones are often chosen for their character, but consistency and setup control are just as important in real recording environments. The Pinnacle Microphones Vinnie Deluxe ribbon microphone with Lundahl transformer combines a long 2 7/16" aluminum ribbon with an upgraded LL2913 Lundahl transformer to deliver a more defined and extended frequency response across the spectrum. Suspended in a neodymium magnetic field, the ribbon captures sound through a direct signal path, maintaining sensitivity and accuracy across a range of sources. With a figure-8 polar pattern, fast transient response and 135dB SPL handling, it performs reliably on guitar cabinets, drum overheads and vocals. The Deluxe package includes a dedicated shockmount and aluminum case, supporting consistent setup and transport for studio and session use.

Long Ribbon Design for Wider Capture and Consistency

The extended 2 7/16" ribbon increases the effective capture area, producing a wider sweet spot than shorter ribbon designs. This allows for more flexible microphone placement while maintaining consistent tonal balance across the source. The long ribbon supports smooth low-frequency response and controlled high frequencies, helping retain detail without introducing harshness. Because the signal is generated directly from the ribbon element, the microphone preserves a natural representation of the source with minimal added coloration.

Lundahl Transformer for Improved Definition

Fitted with an LL2913 Lundahl transformer, the microphone benefits from improved signal definition along with extended low- and high-frequency response. This results in a more refined presentation across both close and ambient mic placements. Combined with its figure-8 polar pattern and fast transient response, it maintains consistent performance across both subtle dynamics and higher sound levels. The included deluxe shockmount helps reduce mechanical vibration during tracking, while the aluminum case supports secure storage and transport, making this Vinnie Deluxe ribbon mic a practical solution for controlled, repeatable studio recording.
