Cascade Ribbon Microphones Feature Center-Field Technology
"Balanced Audio Input"
 
Similar to the ribbon design that was used in the legendary RCA Type 44-BX

Unlike most ribbon motors designed today with an offset ribbon element the new Cascade 731R houses a hand-tuned dual ribbon element motor 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. 

Includes:

  • Velocity ribbon element featuring Center Field Technology
  • High quality 30ft. right angle 3-pin XLR (F) to straight XLR  (M) microphone cable
  • Jewelers quality wood box with two heavy-duty polished nickel latches and hinges
  • Upgrade aluminum case
  • Micro-fiber cleaning cloth
