Pinnacle Microphones Fat Top II Active/Passive Ribbon Microphone

Get a ribbon with plenty of gain to spare! The Fat Top II active/passive includes an upgraded Lundahl transformer plus phantom power for 20dB of added gain.

The Fat Top II Active/Passive is a short ribbon microphone with Lundahl upgrade that delivers a warm, rich, fat, rounded tone. The bi-directional polar pattern picks up sound essentially equally from both faces with a large null between faces ideal for isolating sound sources. This microphone is fitted with an active/passive switch. When switched to active mode it isolates the output of the ribbon from the microphone preamp, the ribbon is consistently loaded at an optimal value.

The active mode requires phantom power and will add up to 20db of gain. Best suited for guitar cabinets, piano, brass and percussion instruments. Can be used in pairs in a Blumlein set up to pick up the entire room. Fat Top II Active/Passive comes standard fitted with the upgraded Lundahl LL2913 transformer. Introducing the upgraded Lundahl to the already quality hardware makes for an extended frequency range. This gives the mic improved definition, lower floor and higher ceiling.

Handling Instructions:
Ribbon microphones are not designed to withstand excessive air-pressure. The Ribbon is made up of a very thin corrugated aluminum ribbon under light tension. Use for close mic'ing of a kick-drum or vocals can cause damage to the ribbon. Use of a Pop-Filter will reduce the air-pressure and increase life of microphone. When not in use, microphone should be cased to protect from unwanted air-pressure and/or damage. This product is Phantom Power safe.
