This superior neoclassic microphone is designed for use in contemporary, state-of-the-art studios, yet offers the unique natural sound previously only available on such classic large ribbon mics as the legendary RCA 44, which is still used to make great recordings today after almost 70 years. Perfect for recording studio vocals, acoustic instruments, strings, horns, orchestras and choral groups, ambient instrument audio, and many live sound applications. Powerful and versatile, and with the unmatched natural sound of classic ribbon mics, the RSM-5 meets the stringent requirements of even the most demanding digital recording and live broadcasting applications.
