Product Description

The Extinct Audio BMx2 Valkyr Blumlein Stereo Ribbon Microphone is the stereo version of Extinct Audio's popular BM9 ribbon microphone, and a perfect one-point solution for recording ensemble, orchestral or choral performances. It also makes an excellent live room or drum overhead microphone, and is ideal for use in larger spaces. The Valkyr has a fixed 90 degree angle and is perfect for mid-side or Blumlein recording.

Built from brass and steel, and finished in a matt nickel plating, Valkyr is engineered to make music and look beautiful for decades to come.

Valkyr is supplied with hard case, 5-pin stereo XLR cable (4 metres), breakout box and Fenrir mount.

Please note that stereo microphones are tuned and matched to order, and will take around 5 working days to ship.

Mechanical parts carry a lifetime warranty to the original owner. Ribbons and cables are warrantied for 1 year from date of purchase, but with care should last many years.

All of Extinct Audio's microphones are machined and built in Yorkshire, England.
