Cascade
Fat Head AMI TR42
Up for consideration is a brand new
CASCADE Fat Head BE figure-8 ribbon mic, factory upgraded with the AMI TR-42 boutique transformer. This is a Cathedral Guitar exclusive -- as we are the only dealer for whom Cascade installs the AMI TR-42 transformer as a factory upgrade -- which catapults this mic up several notches, allowing it to compete with mics costing 3-4x as much. The BE version is the exact same Fat Head mic, but is packaged with a soft pouch instead of a wood box. So here is a great chance to get this wonderful-sounding boutique ribbon mic for the smallest investment possible!!!

RIBBON MICS
Ribbon mics are smooth-sounding mics that excell when the predominant frequency detail is in the low-mid region: acoustic guitar, cello, bass, voice, etc. The Figure 8 response pattern is perfect for capturing the natural detail of the source, as well as the depth and space of the room. Ribbons are also very useful for using the mic's natural EQ roll-off curve to tame the occasional harsh higher frequences that sometimes appear with bowed string instruments, acoustic guitars, screechy sopranos, non-professional players, etc.

CASCADE / AMI CUSTOMERS
"I record guitar amps nearly every day and I choose the Cascade / AMI Fat Head over
all of the other ribbon mics in my locker. They give me incredible creamy
highs, punchy lows and a killer tight midrange that I demand."
