LRM-2b

Light Ribbon Microphone. New version of the LRM-2, released in Nov. 2018. The LRM-2 was originally based on the LRM-1 but upgraded in several ways. The LRM-2b goes further with higher sensitivity (at the motor/before the transformer) and a symmetrical, pure Bidirectionnal/Figure-8 Polar Pattern while the overall tone has been retained - yet with an even flatter response. This is a great choice for Classical music or any track needing a flat but smooth response with a symetrical Fig-8 pattern. Sold with soft padded protection bag, also available with Lundahl output transfomer. Shockmount included. Ribbon tensionning, final assembly and testing performed in our workshop in Belgium. The current version of the LRM-2b has a new shockmount design with stronger hardware.
