The Pinnacle Microphones Fat Top II Active/Passive Ribbon Microphone is a short ribbon microphone that delivers a warm, rich, fat, rounded tone.

The bi-directional polar pattern picks up sound essentially equally from both faces with a large null between faces ideal for isolating sound sources. This microphone is fitted with an active/passive switch. When switched to active mode it isolates the output of the ribbon from the microphone preamp, the ribbon is consistently loaded at an optimal value. The active mode requires phantom power and will add up to 20db of gain. Best suited for guitar cabinets, piano, brass and percussion instruments. Can be used in pairs in a Blumlein set up to pick up the entire room. Fat Top II Active/Passive comes standard fitted with the upgraded Lundahl LL2913 transformer. Introducing the upgraded Lundahl to the already quality hardware makes for an extended frequency range. This gives the mic improved definition, lower floor and higher ceiling.

What We Think

avatar

The Pinnacle Microphones Fat Top II Active/Passive Ribbon Microphone is really almost like four mics in one. Not only do you have the tonal difference between the front and rear side of the mic (as is common with ribbon mics), but this variant of the Fat Top II can function as a traditional passive ribbon mic, or a modern active (phantom powered) ribbon mic. So you really have two different voicings per side. It is surpisingly darker in active mode, and brighter (for a ribbon mic) in passive mode. This allows the Pinnacle Microphones Fat Top II Active/Passive Ribbon Microphone to be a workhorse that can handle any sound source and tailored to that sound source.
