Product description

• Cascade Microphones FAT HEAD Ribbon Microphones (Brown Body and Gold Grill, Stock Transformer, Pair) These FAT HEAD Ribbon Microphones from Cascade Microphones are sold as a stereo matched pair and are versatile enough to handle almost any vocal or instrument recording, and live sound application. The FAT HEAD features a hand-tuned ribbon element that incorporates the legendary symmetrical ribbon design in order to achieve a true symmetrical figure-8 polar pattern. Its frequency and sensitivity response are engineered to deliver pristine audio results, and the element's design is very useful when executing a mid-side or Blumlein recording.
  • Stock Transformer
  • Stereo matched pair
  • Hand-tuned ribbon element
  • True figure-8 pattern
  • Balanced audio input signal to both sides of the ribbon assembly
  • Suited for guitar cabinets, drum over-heads, vocal, piano, horns, strings, and more

• Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-2 Mic Activator The Cloudlifter CL-2 Mic Activator from Cloud Microphones is a compact, dual-input solution for common audio problems in the field and in the studio involving low-output passive microphones, including ribbons. The CL-2 uses any standard phantom-powered mixer or microphone input device to provide up to +25 dB of clean, transparent gain. This improves signal-to-noise ratio and improves the performance of passive microphone signals by driving stronger, cleaner signals over longer XLR cable runs, making them ideal for broadcast, live, and studio applications. The CL-2 is housed in a rugged steel enclosure which offers shielding and durability.
  Transparent Gain
  • Gives passive mics up to +25 dB additional active output and keeps the direct audio path free-and- clear of transformers, capacitors, and resistors. The CL-2 houses discrete JFET circuitry that delivers clean gain while preserving the natural sonic characteristics of the source
  Useful for a Variety of Applications
  • • Use with noisy or low-gain preamps
    • Use with mixers/preamps that negatively impact the sound at higher gain setting
    • Use with low-output dynamic microphones and ribbons
    • Mic softer sound sources such as acoustic instruments and voice
    • Use for long cable runs
  Features at a Glance
  • • Gives passive mics up to +25 dB additional active output
    • Provides 2 distinct stages of clean gain
    • Easy to use self-contained design requires only phantom power
    • Recommended for use with all passive dynamic microphones
    • Compatible with tube, battery, or power supply driven microphones
    • Safe for all passive ribbons with no transfer of phantom
    • Utilizes Patent Pending Class A, Discrete JFET circuitry
    • Ideal impedance loading for optimal performance @ 3 kOhms
    • Rugged, road ready, and portable, for studio, stage, and broadcasting

• 2 x Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series XLR M to XLR F Microphone Cable - 6' (1.8 m), Black The black Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series XLR M to XLR F Microphone Cable (6') is designed to be an extremely quiet and flexible cable that is ideal for the most demanding live sound and performance applications. The cable is engineered to be durable and to provide protection against EMI, RFI, and static noise. While the cable's color-coding affords the ability to quickly differentiate between multiple connections on stage, it provides a pleasant aesthetic quality at the same time.
  
  Premium Performance 3000 Series cables are made from 24-AWG OFC copper wire that's wrapped with PE insulation and a conductive PVC inner shield. A cotton-yarn inner layer helps reduce electrostatic and microphonic noise. 95% dual-spiral shielding makes the cable resistant to EMI and RFI noise. The Neutrik XX silver connectors provide a high level of connectivity, and all the solder connections are shrink-wrapped for protection.
  • 95% dual-spiral shielding offers protection from EMI and RFI noise
  • Twin conductive PVC inner shielding provides 100% coverage of the core conductor. It helps keep the cable's signal from radiating and affecting nearby cables, and also helps prevent external EMI from penetrating to the cable's core
  • 24-AWG oxygen-free stranded copper inner core provides the best possible conductivity
  • Cotton yarn reduces electrostatic and microphonic noise
  • All solder points shrink-wrapped for protection
  • Neutrik XX silver connectors offer high conductivity
  • Caged type contact and improved ground contact
