One of the first truly effective microphone designs, ribbon mics are revered and sought after for their incredibly detailed and natural sound. They use a thin metallic ribbon suspended between two magnets. Because the ribbon is under very little pressure, they have a resonance frequency below 20Hz, allowing them to capture sound that is hyper realistic throughout the range of human hearing. Until recently, ribbon mics were close to impossible to own due to their high cost and limited availability. The new Stage Right LR100 Ribbon Microphone responds to those challenges, delivering high end ribbon mic performance at a fraction of the cost. The LR100 is Stage Right's true studio mic. An ultra thin, 4 micron ribbon gives the LR100 its perfectly natural and classic sound. Additionally, this Stage Right Ribbon Microphone follows classic ribbon mic designs, with a figure 8 polar pattern and high maximum SPL. Unlike vintage ribbon mics, the LR100 is built to modern specs, making it ideal for a much larger number of sound sources, including electric guitar cabinets, drums, brass and woodwinds, and more. Following design and material improvements, ribbon mics gained most in popularity as electric guitar microphones. Their "darker" sound is exceptional at cutting midrange harshness from overdriven amps, smoothing out your tone. Furthermore, their low end punch produces fantastic guitar recordings. Most vintage ribbon mics are passive, producing a low voltage output that requires the use of a step-up transformer or special preamp to raise the output to standard recording levels. In contrast, the LR100 features an active design that retains the positive characteristics of the classic ribbon mic sound, while producing an output level better suited for modern recording equipment. Unlike vintage ribbon mics, the LR100 features a robust modern design that eliminates the fragility associated with older designs. The modern design allows the LR100 to perform flawlessly when used with loud guitar cabinets and other high SPL sound sources. With the LR100, Stage Right™ delivers all of the classic ribbon mic sound, without any of the classic fragility.
