MESANOVIC MODEL 2 PASSIVE RIBBON MICROPHONE
The Mesanovic Microphones Model 2 - Stainless Steel is a ribbon microphone that pushes modern design to its limits. The Model 2 is a passive ribbon that is completely handcrafted in Detroit, Michigan. It features a 1.8 micron thick, 2-inch long pure aluminum ribbon. The ribbon motor was designed to have a very short front to back path length as well as custom resonator plates. These features give the Model 2 an incredibly extended high-frequency response, while retaining classic ribbon midrange and a rich, low end that reaches flat out to 20 Hz. You can hear the high frequency "air" in this microphone, something not common in ribbons. The Model 2 features Mesanovic's unique in-house wound toroidal transformer. This transformer provides extremely low distortion, low noise, incredible high-frequency detail, and a 3D like sound. The microphone's slim body (1.25 inches in diameter) allows it to be used with most third-party shock mounts and allows for quick and easy setup.
The Model 2 sounds great on all sources. Its smooth, flat extended response makes it an excellent choice on vocals, guitar amps, drums, strings, brass, piano, and much more. It is recommended using this mic on sources where you would usually not reach for a ribbon - you won't be disappointed. Like the Model 1, the Model 2 also delivers an amazingly quick transient response.
Mesanovic offer a lifetime warranty with their microphones because they are certain they are built for years of use. The microphone ships with a cherry wood case, mount clip, and protective pouch.
FEATURES:
- The most extended high end frequency response of any ribbon
- Classic ribbon smoothness with an open and transparent low end
- All-original design delivering unique sonic character
- All stainless steel construction
- Low noise, low distortion, exceptional detail, and 3D like sound
- 100% handcrafted in Detroit, MI
SOYUZ LAUNCHER MICROPHONE GAIN BOOSTER
The Launcher is not meant to be transparent and clean like other “gain boosters” on the market. Imagine taking a piece of a vintage analog console and putting it in a magic little box. It’s no longer a fantasy with the Launcher.
If you’ve ever struggled to get “that” sound when plugging your mic into an interface without an external preamp, then struggle no more. The Launcher makes your mics sound like they’re running through a vintage console– even when they’re plugged into a simple interface or PA system.
DREAM IN COLOR
The Launcher imparts a truly special character and color that will bring your sound to the next level. With its custom hand wound transformer, the Launcher’s warm character will forever change the way you look at dynamic and ribbon microphones.
PREPARE FOR TAKE OFF
Whether on the stage, in the booth, or in your bedroom, the Launcher gives your microphones the ability to perform incredibly well with virtually any interface or preamp by optimizing the sound of your source, boosting your gain by 26 dB, and lowering the amount of audible noise in your signal chain.
TAKE YOUR SOUND WITH YOU
If you’re a musician, home or professional engineer, podcaster, voiceover artist, or just someone who loves making videos, the Launcher will take your sound to the next level. You don’t need a huge studio to have a huge sound – the Launcher will get you there no matter the time or place.
COUNTDOWN TO PERFECT SOUND
The Launcher is the culmination of years of beta testing and feedback from real musicians and engineers around the world. The launcher’s custom transformer and proprietary circuit have become one of Soyuz’s most closely guarded secrets. Every Launcher is hand-built in the Soyuz facility.
