Mesanovic Microphones has announced the Model 2A Active Ribbon Microphone.

The Model 2A is an active adaptation of the US company’s Model 2 passive ribbon microphone, and uses the same signature motor structure and resonator plates to capture any source in detail. The active circuit in the Model 2A provides high output, extremely low self noise and works with any mic preamp. The 48V phantom power circuit works as an impedance buffer to avoid any colouration.

The Model 2A is suited to use on guitar, vocals, drum overheads, choirs and orchestra.

In the UK, the Mesanovic Microphones Model 2A is available to order exclusively from KMR Audio, and retails at £915.83 (£1,099 inc VAT).
