Over the past decade, Cascade Microphones has played a significant role in the "ribbon revolution," offering quality ribbon mics at affordable prices. Continuing with that tradition, they are excited to announce the newly designed Fat Head II short ribbon microphone. If you already loved the original Fat Head II, fear not! Their new version uses the same 2.5 micron ribbon as its predecessor, so you can expect the same warm and "fat" sound as before.
They redesigned the Fat Head 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 Head II is more at home than ever in both project and professional studios, as well as live on stage. Fat Head II Stereo Pairs include an upgraded basket-style shockmount and the Blumlein stereo bar is now silk screened with mounting indicators.
