About Cascade Microphones FAT HEAD BE Stereo Pair-Grey
The FAT HEAD BE Stereo Pair offers the same famous FAT HEAD sound (sonically the same as all of the other stock FAT HEAD Stereo Pairs) featuring the same ribbon motor and transformer - less aluminum case, wood box and premium shock mount. The FAT HEAD BE has been described by Guitar Player Magazine as the new go to microphone for recording guitar. Unlike most ribbon motors designed today with an offset ribbon the new Cascade FAT HEAD houses a hand-tuned ribbon element that incorporates the legendary symmetrical ribbon design. This design offers a true figure 8 pattern. The corrugated aluminum membrane itself is positioned in the center from front to back, thus producing a balanced audio input signal to both sides of the ribbon assembly. This design is very useful when executing a mid-side or Blumlein recording set-up and also great for live stage use. The FAT HEAD warm full-bodied signature and increased sensitivity is what you would expect and demand from a professional ribbon microphone and the FAT HEAD delivers. The FAT HEAD is suited for guitar cabinets, drum over-heads, vocal, piano, horns, strings, and much more.
