Wesley Jensen and The Wildcats recoding with a single
FAT HEAD II
My name is Jeremy Coverdale, I run a studio in Redding, Ca. I
also play in Wesley Jensen and the Wildcats. We have been using
your Fat Head mic a lot for various different tracking needs and
I really love what you have done.. The Fat Head I am using is on
loan to me from a fellow engineer friend. I gotta say, I have
been using this mic with many other mics 10x the price and it
really holds up. The Fat Head I am using is not even the
upgraded one. I am amazed by the warmth and clarity.
Also, We just made a little promo video of a live recording of
one of our new songs and recorded all the audio with the Fat
Head placed in the middle with us standing around the mic.. I
ran the mic into a Universal Audio LA610 (really makes this mic
come alive). This is a live one take video and I am more than
happy with how well the audio came through.. It took a little
figuring out the best distance from the mic for each of us but i
think we really got a good mix... there was very little eq done
and NO overdubs.
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 FAT HEAD II offers a unique Radian Grill
Design
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. We firmly
believe you will also agree that this microphone
will make a great addition to your collection.
We inspect 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.
