VICTOR
Ribbon
Mic
Up for consideration is a new CASCADE Victor figure-8 ribbon mic, upgraded with the AMI TR42 boutique transformer. This is a Cathedral Guitar exclusive -- as we are the only dealer for whom Cascade installs the AMI TR42 transformer upgrade, which catapults this mic up several notches, allowing it to compete with mics costing 3-4x as much. So here is a great chance to get this wonderful ribbon mic for a very modest investment!!!

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. A VERY useful mic to have around for several different situations.

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."

ABOUT AMI
AMI, Inc. is becoming world-renowned for making audio transformers the old
fashioned way. Using vintage winding machines, AMI designed their TR42 ribbon mic output transformer with the same construction techniques used on
historic Neumann U47 tube mic transformers. The result is a
ribbon mic
transformer that provides enhanced clarity and dimension throughout the
frequency
spectrum.
Many of today's top high-end mics use AMI transformers.
