NEW KNUCKLE HEAD FITTED WITH
AMI TR42 TRANSFORMER
LIMITED EDITION
Quotes from the pros
"I record guitar amps nearly every day and I choose
the AMI / Fathead over all of the other ribbon mics
in my locker. They give me incredible creamy highs,
punchy lows and a killer tight midrange that I
demand."

" I got a chance to do some
recording recently at Yellow Dog Studio's in Austin,
TX, for a shoot-out we were doing between different
brands of guitar amp transformers. We needed a
sensitive mic to hear the subtle differences, and it
was suggested we try out the new AMI/Fat Head --
what a great mic!!! The AMI/Fat Head is
true-sounding with a great sense of space. It made
it easy to hear the differences in what we were
listening to. I immediately ordered one after the
session."

Read Review from Everything Recording
Assembled in the USA
The Knuckle Head is a passive
ribbon microphone that combines the acoustic components of
the successful Fat Head ribbon with a shockmounted
headbasket design reminiscent of early broadcast
microphones.
The ribbon motor uses Neodymium magnets surrounding
a 2.2-micron corrugated aluminum ribbon measuring
5mm x 45mm. The ribbon is mounted symmetrically
within the magnetic gap, *the front and back of the mic will produce the
same sound.
The ribbon motor and headbasket are suspended within a
6-inch diameter metal hoop by eight springs. The output
transformer is located within the cylindrical shaft below
the shockmount hoop.
