Pinnacle Microphones Fat Head Reviews
Amazing quality and sound!
I bought these because I needed some nice ribbon mics and I wanted to try out the MS/mid-side miking technique. The first thing about these mics is that they're seriously heavy and to me that speaks a little of the quality. They look great too. The sound was amazingly loud for a ribbon mic. Most ribbon mics have low input but I had to turn the gain down from where I normally have them. The MS setup was incredible for the stereo image and I can't imagine recording my hammered dulcimer any other way. I don't think you can go wrong with these mics.
Amazing!
These mics are absolutely the best hands down. If you're looking for good sound for your guitars or even some extra mics for vocals, I find them to be the best ribbons for the price. I compare them close to a set of ribbons I got about a year ago for 3400$. I should have gotten these a few years ago instead as they are way more affordable and pick up the lows and highs better than any mic around, more so, for something within 1,500$ of their price range. Pick them up, you won't be disappointed with Cascade.
