Legendary symmetrical ribbon design is incorporated into the FAT HEAD II Unlike most ribbon motors designed today with an offset ribbon element the new Cascade FAT HEAD II 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. Includes : - FAT HEAD II Ribbon Microphone
- Premium suspension shockmount
- Quality wood box with heavy-duty latch and hinges
- Micro-fiber cleaning cloth
