Impressive Performance
The Cascade Fat Head BE has actually replaced my Shure SM58 as the go to mic for recording guitar cabinets. Also this is the best microphone I have tried for recording deep hand percussion instruments like large frame drums and djembes. Also gives a warm vintage acoustic guitar sound. Glad I took the chance on this one.
Great for drum overheads!
This is a great ribbon mic! I love the thick drum sound when used as overheads.
The FAT HEAD BE (Bare Essentials) from Cascade Microphones features a symmetrical ribbon design with the corrugated aluminum membrane positioned in the center from front to back, producing a balanced audio input signal to both sides of the ribbon assembly. This design is especially useful when working with a mid-side or Blumlein recording set-up and is also applicable to live stage use.
The microphone is well suited for recording guitar cabinets, or used as drum over-heads, and for capturing vocal, piano, horns, strings, etc., with a "warm" full bodied signature. This stock transformer BE version includes an identical FAT HEAD microphone as found in other packages, but dispenses with the aluminum case, wood box and premium shock mount to lower the cost of admission. The microphone ships with a rubberized microphone stand clip and a vinyl pouch.
