The most characteristic sounding mic I have ever owned. It is so raw and natural. Extremely warm and suprisingly versatile. This is my favorite mic and costs less than half of my other previously favorite mics.

Comments about Cascade Microphones Fat Head Ribbon Microphone (Brown / Gold):
Great things come with the Fat Head Ribbon Mic package! First off, if you haven't used this mic before.. definitely give it a shot and add to your collection. It's an affordable ribbon mic packing high end quality! Build quality is excellent, sounds so real and smooth which a ribbon mic should (not overdone at all in the highs and not muddy at all..just right), and overall just a very cool smooth working and looking mic! I've used this on male and female vocals with success and it REALLY shines when recording electric guitar cabs. I've also heard numerous times that it captures a great sound with an acoustic guitar, sax, and violin as well as many other instruments I can imagine. The mic package includes a sharp looking carry case, sleek wood type box for the mic, soft cloth mic case, and quality shockmount! All that for under $200! One of my best investments in recording so far. Give it a try, I think you'll appreciate it as much as I do!
