Direct Sound DS-R5 MKB Dynamic Ribbon Microphone (Silver)

The black DS-R5 MKB from Direct Audio is a workhorse ribbon microphone, ready for a wide range of instrumental recording applications, including guitar amps, drums, horns, and strings; it can also be deployed on vocals where a more "vintage" tonality is desired. The mic's ribbon element is 62mm in length and 0.002mm thick, providing a fast transient response while the figure-8 polar pattern picks up audio from both sides of the dynamic capsule, allowing you to capture room tone or sources on both sides of the mic. The DS-R5 features a wide frequency response from 20 Hz up to 18 kHz and provides a rich, dark, and natural sonic signature.
