Ribbon Microphones

Ribbon microphones, known for their delicate construction, use a thin strip of metal suspended in a magnetic field to capture sound. They excel in recording applications due to their ability to capture rich, warm audio, making them favorites for vocals and string instruments. Thanks to the figure-8 polar pattern, substantial low-end capture, and natural attenuation of high frequencies, ribbon microphones provide a recording that closely mimics human hearing more than any other type of microphone.
