USER MANUAL AND CARE
OVERVIEW
The Model 2 is a one of a kind premium ribbon
microphone. The ribbon motor of the Model 2 has a very
short front to back path length and features custom
designed resonator plates. These features allow the high
frequency response to extend well beyond that of most
ribbons on the market today, while retaining a classic
ribbon midrange and an extended low end. The micro-
phone features a custom made toroidal transformer. This
transformer provides low distortion, low noise, incredible
high frequency detail, and a 3D like sound. The Model 2ʼs
slim design makes it easy to set up and use in any situation.
The body is made of anodized aluminum that provides
long lasting protection.

RECORDING WITH THE MICROPHONE
The Model 2 sounds great on all sources. Its extended low end and incredible high end detail
make it a great choice for vocals, electric guitar, drum overheads, acoustic guitar, strings, brass, and
much more. Its figure eight pattern allows it to be used in blumlein and M/S configurations. The micro-
phone has multiple layers of blast protection allowing it to be used on high SPL sources. However, the
user should avoid using it on sources of high air movement such as a kick drum or bass cabinet. When
setting up the microphone, keep it covered with the protective pouch provided. Always keep the micro-
phone covered with the protective pouch when not in use as well.
