Cascade Microphones Knuckle Head Short Ribbon Mic with Lundahl LL2913 Transformer

No longer available at zZounds
The Knuckle Head's shape and distressed copper finish evokes early broadcast microphones -- with the smooth, natural ribbon sound Cascade is known for. This version of the mic comes with the Lundahl LL2913 transformer.

The Knuckle Head with Lundahl LL2913 Transformer is a passive ribbon microphone that combines the acoustic components of the successful Fat Head ribbon with a shockmounted headbasket design reminiscent of early broadcast microphones.

The ribbon motor uses Neodymium magnets surrounding a 2.2-micron corrugated aluminum ribbon measuring 5mm x 45mm. The ribbon is mounted symmetrically within the magnetic gap, making the Knuckle Head suitable as the "mid" mic in a MS setup -- the front and back of the mic should produce the same sound.

The ribbon motor and headbasket are suspended within a 6-inch diameter metal hoop by eight springs. The output transformer is located within the cylindrical shaft below the shockmount hoop.
