Pinnacle Fat Top II Stereo Pair Ribbon Microphones

Over the past decade, Pinnacle Microphones has played a significant role in the “ribbon revolution,” offering quality ribbon mics at surprisingly affordable prices. Continuing with that tradition, Pinnacle announced the newly designed Fat Top II short ribbon microphone. If you already loved the original Fat Head II, fear not! The new Pinnacle Fat Top II Stereo Pair uses the same 2.5 micron ribbon as its predecessor, so you can expect the same warm and “fat” sound as before.

Pinnacle redesigned the Fat Top II with both form factor and durability in mind. Its new brass body helps protect the microphone from stray RF noise and is larger than its predecessor for easier handling. Also incorporated into the new model is a reinforced neck and grill assembly along with upgraded plating on its hardware. It now also offers a gold-plated XLR connector. With these changes, the Fat Top II is more at home than ever in both project and professional studios, as well as live on stage.

Fat Top II Stereo Pairs include an upgraded basket-style shockmount and the Blumlein stereo bar is now silk screened with mounting indicators.

The Fat Top II comes stock with a Lundahl LL2913 transformer, which is mounted on a through-hole circuit board. Each microphone is carefully assembled and tested at our headquarters in Olympia, Washington. The Fat Top II remains an excellent choice for guitar cabinets, vocals, horns, strings, drum overheads…you will love to use them on just about everything!
