The Alctron RM-1 Professional Ribbon Microphone is a high quality studio/live microphone.

Ribbon Microphones are considered by many to be the most natural sounding microphones ever made, the sound is smooth and natural with silky highs and a full bottom-end response.

Another benefit to ribbon microphones is it's high SPL handling.

The unique sound of the ribbon mics is great for studio vocal, acoustic instruments, strings, horns, orchestras, choral groups, and unique live situations.

The microphone has a figure 8 polar pattern, gold plated connectors and a 3 meter XLR lead.

Ribbon Mics have the reputation of being a little bit delicate, this can be true they need to be handled with extra care but the sound you get out of them far outweighs any inconvenience in looking after the microphone itself.

The kit comes with a padded carry bag, aluminium hard case and the ribbon microphone itself.
