It combines the SF-12's high-quality audio performance, outstanding stereo separation, and imaging with our exclusive active electronics system for ribbon microphones. The SF-24's output of -38 dB is a full 14 dB more sensitive than our non-powered SF-12, putting its sensitivity on par with that of phantom powered condenser microphones. The unique electronics and custom-designed FET's used in the SF-24 allow for ultra-quiet operation, with self-noise of lower than 18 dB. Like an SF-12, the SF-24 is actually two matched ribbon microphones placed one above the other in a coincident pair, each aimed 45 degrees from center in the classic Blumlein configuration. The magnet\/pole piece structure of each ribbon transducer delivers a wide, uniform frequency response with no substantial peaks or dips, and the 1.8-micron ribbons produce superb transient response. Frequency response is excellent regardless of the angle of sound striking the ribbons and off-axis coloration is negligible. The SF-24's extension cable comes with a Y adapter that splits into separate 3-pin male XLR connectors labeled “Upper” and “Lower” for the upper and lower capsules of the microphone (when held vertically). Features: • Phantom powered circuitry provides high output and impedance matching • True stereophonic (Blumlein and M-S) recording from one microphone • High SPL capabilities • No distortion up to maximum SPL rating • Extremely low residual noise • Ribbon elements are not affected by heat or humidity • Absence of high frequency phase distortion • Equal sensitivity from front or back of elements • Consistent frequency response regardless of distance • High efficiency, matching toroidal transformers • Very low magnetic leakage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA ribbon hears a room the way your ears do.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"vmi-benefit-bar\"\u003eFree shipping · Free local pickup in Miami · Financing at checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigure-of-eight pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural high-frequency roll off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles loud sources without harshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the SF-24 Stereo Acive Ribbon Microphone?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRibbon microphones capture the top end gently rather than exaggerating it, which is why they sit so well on guitar cabinets, brass and drum overheads where a bright condenser turns brittle.
