Upgraded with AMI TR42 Ribbon Transformer!!!

Cascade /AMI
Knuckle Head
Ribbon Mic

Up for consideration is a new Cascade Knuckle Head ribbon microphone upgraded with an AMI TR42 transformer. This mic is similar to the classic Cascade Fat Head design, but with a thinner 2.2 micron ribbon element -- giving it slightly better high-end response, in a retro-style, spring-loaded shock mount. This mic sounds great on acoustic instruments, especially guitar -- or any instrument where smooth, low-mid detail is critical. The high-end AMI TR42 transformer is a big upgrade to the stock Chinese transformer, with enhanced frequency response in both the highs and the low-end, and boosts the performance as to compete with mics 3-4 times its price. This is an brand new mic, built and tested by Cascade with the full warranty, and exclusively available through Cathedral Guitars!!!

SPECS:
* Polar Pattern: Fig. 8
* 2.2 Micron Ribbon
* AMI TR42 Xformer
* Integrated Shock Mount
* Stand Adapter
* Flight Case
* Connector: XLR
* Laser Engraved AMI
* 5-Year Warranty

RIBBON MICS
Ribbon mics are smooth-sounding mics that excell when the predominant frequency detail is in the low-mid region: acoustic guitar, cello, bass, voice, etc. The Figure 8 response pattern is perfect for capturing the natural detail of the source, as well as the depth and space of the room, which makes it well suited for remote/location work.

CASCADE / AMI CUSTOMERS
"I record guitar amps nearly every day and I choose the Cascade / AMI Fat Head over all of the other ribbon mics in my locker. They give me incredible creamy highs, punchy lows and a killer tight midrange that I demand."

Yellow Dog Cascade/AMI Fat Head Mics

-- David Percefull guitarist/producer/engineer Owner, yellow DOG Studios

"I got a chance to do some recording recently at Yellow DOG Studio's in Austin, and we were doing a shoot-out between different guitar amp transformers. So we needed a sensitive mic to hear the subtle differences. It was suggested we try the Cascade / AMI Fat Head -- what a great mic!!! The AMI-upgraded Fat Head is true sounding with a great sense of space. It made it easy to hear the subtle differences. I ordered one immediately after the session."

ABOUT AMI
AMI, Inc. is becoming world-renowned for making audio transformers the old fashioned way. Using vintage winding machines, AMI designed their TR42 ribbon mic output transformer with the same construction techniques used on historic Neumann U47 tube mic transformers. The result is a ribbon mic transformer that provides enhanced clarity and dimension throughout the frequency spectrum. Many of today's top high-end mics use AMI transformers.
