Cascade Fat Head 2019 - Brown / Gold

The Fat Head (rebranded Pinnacle Fat Top) is a short ribbon passive microphone that delivers a smooth, warm, rich, fat, rounded tone. Produces a well-rounded sound without the need to EQ out the brittle or sharp highs. This microphone will roll off the high frequencies that will help with perceived warmth. The bi-directional polar pattern picks up sound essentially equally from both faces with a large null between faces, ideal for isolating sound sources. Its frequency and sensitivity response deliver pristine audio results. Translates natural analog sound into the digital domain, giving warmth and smoothness to what might be a cold and sterile digital recording. Versatile enough to handle any vocals or instruments in recording and live sound application. Can be used in pairs in a Blumlein set up to pick up the entire room. Best suited for guitar cabinets, piano, brass and percussion instruments.

Use a pop-filter if mic'ing close when recording vocals maintain 10-12 inches away and angled downward toward the mouth for best results. It is not advised to use a ribbon mic close to the air pressure of a kick drum. Mic'ing sound levels is fine in midrange and is acceptable. Do not expose it too strong puffs of air on the ribbon as it can damage the ribbon. Keep covered when not in use.
