The Fat Top II Active/Passive is a short ribbon microphone. The bi-directional polar pattern picks up sound essentially equally from both faces with a large null between them ideal for isolating sound sources. The Fat Top II is fitted with an active/passive switch. When switched to active mode it isolates the output of the ribbon from the microphone preamp, the ribbon is consistently loaded at an optimal value. The active mode requires phantom power and adds up to 20 db of gain. The microphone is ideal for guitar cabinets, piano, brass and percussion instruments. It can also be used in pairs in a Blumlein set up. The Fat Top II Active/Passive is equipped with a Lundahl LL2913 transformer. Includes Shockmount, carrying pouch and aluminium case.
