Cascade 731R

Cascade Ribbon Microphones Feature Center-Field Technology "Balanced Audio Input"

Unlike most ribbon motors designed today with an offset ribbon element the new Cascade 731R houses a hand-tuned dual ribbon element motor 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.

We inspect the audio and built quality of each and every Cascade microphone before it leaves our shop, once you try one...you'll be a believer.

Note:
As with all ribbon type microphones, the 731R is not suitable for instruments that produce air-pressure, i.e. kick drum or blowing directly into the grill.
