Legendary symmetrical ribbon design is incorporated into the FAT HEAD II
Unlike most ribbon motors designed today with an offset ribbon
element the new Cascade FAT HEAD II 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 offers the natural and open sound associated
with the finest ribbon microphones. You will find that when recording
acoustic guitars, guitar cabinets, vocals, drum over-heads, and
countless other types of instruments, the ribbon microphone will
produce the warmth that is vital to today's digital recording
environment. You will also agree that this microphone will make a great
addition to your collection.
Cascade inspects the audio and built quality of each and every
Cascade microphone before it leaves our shop, once you try one...you'll be a believer.
Michael Britt (lead guitar, background vocals) Lonestar:
"I was using one of the other brand name ribbons on my touring rig, I was told to try the new Cascade 5 micron, it is absolutely stunning. I'll never go back to the other one."
