210B

Common name: Apex Electronics 210B

Production Status: In production

The 210B is ideal microphone for vocals, solo instruments and any broadcast application. The active element of the Apex 210 is a very thin corrugated aluminum ribbon mounted under low tension between the poles of a strong magnet. The asymmetrical figure-8 pickup pattern has an extended sweet spot on the rear face of the microphone allowing the recording to accurately reproduce the natural space and ambient reverberation of a good sounding live room with incredibly fast and accurate transient response and stunning realism. The Apex 210 ribbon microphone is ideal for todays direct to digital recordings. Although ribbon microphones are by their nature extremely fragile, the Apex 210B can handle high sound pressure levels approaching 165 dB range. The low-tension 2-inch long, 2-micron thick aluminum ribbon design offers audio reproduction with smooth, natural extended low and high frequency response. The Apex 210B comes in a black and smoked chrome finish, and is shipped with a custom designed aluminum carrying case.
