The Cascade Fat Head BE Ribbon Microphone comes in a stereo pair to meet your stereo recording needs. Featuring a hand-tuned ribbon element with symmetrical ribbon design to offer a true figure 8 polar pattern, it offers the same famous sound as the Cascade Fat Head Ribbon Microphone, but at a reduced price!
The Cascade Fat Head BE Ribbon Microphone has the same ribbon motor and transformer as the Cascade Fat Head Microphone, but saves you money by including less accessories (no aluminum case, wood box and premium shockmount). The Cascade Fat Head BE comes with a rubber shockmount and vinyl pouch. Unlike most ribbon motors designed today with an offset ribbon the new Cascade Fat Head BE 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. The Cascade Fat Head BE warm full-bodied signature and increased sensitivity is what you would expect and demand from a professional ribbon microphone and the Cascade Fat Head BE delivers. The Cascade Fat Head BE is suited for guitar cabinets, drum over-heads, vocal, piano, horns, strings, and much more.
