The Stager SR-2N Ribbon Microphones provides a full warm sound, with buttery smooth details, and a soft airy top end. The deep low end, and forward mids, bring a character that holds weight in a mix. Now available in a matched stereo pair, ideal for your stereo recording applications.
The Stager SR-2N Ribbon Microphone is hand-built in Music City, USA and crams an inordinate amount of size into the sound of your tracks. Just leave the thing on a stand and point it at anything that makes sound, then stretch out a big ol' smile when you listen to playback.
No, big things don't come in small packages. Small things comes in small packages as a matter of simple physics. But that doesn't mean that something small can't consistently kick the pants off of something bigger. Lovingly made by hand in Music City, USA, the Stager SR-2N ribbon microphone embodies exactly this. All of this. It's no wonder that a great ribbon mic can lure the listener deep into whatever sound it's picking up. The damn things work because of magnets -- materials that are literally designed to physically pull and attract other materials and get them to stick.
While weighing in at under one pound, the Stager SR-2N crams an inordinate amount of size into the sound of your tracks. Employing the same ribbon and toroidal output transformer as the company's flagship model Stager SR-1A, the Stager SR-2N swaps out the large alnico magnets with a more contemporary neodymium motor, while simplifying the housing and mount to put heavyweight punch into a featherweight fighter.
Incredible low-frequency pickup and a neutral midrange set the stage for a very gentle high-frequency rolloff that's inherent to classic ribbons -- but the Stager SR-2N ribbon microphone miraculously loses no transient detail, and beautifully flatters percussive material and bright sound sources in a way that won't make you feel like you're missing anything by skipping the EQ.
Stick one up close on the smaller speaker of an old tube combo for tremendous low-end emphasis, back up a pair to capture drums with a three-dimensional quality, or...jeez...just leave the thing on a stand and point it at anything that makes sound, then stretch out a big ol' smile when you listen to playback.
