The title to this entry is very open-ended, is it not? I did that on purpose, so you would sit and wonder how
guitars were actually meant to be recorded…well, how were they? The truth is, I have no idea how guitars were meant to be recorded, what I do know is that I love the sound of an electric guitar through a quality ribbon microphone. What perfect timing considering Shure recently announced their release of the Shure KSM313 Dual-Voice Ribbon Microphone. This marks a new chapter in the rich, 30-year history of Shure ribbon microphones. The KSM313 offers exceptional audio reproduction as well as industry-leading technological advancements. Featuring a bi-directional polar pattern, this great mic delivers pristine audio with superior off-axis rejection. Roswellite proprietary ribbon material replaces traditional foil ribbons with high tensile strength, toughness and shape memory that provides superior resilience at extreme SPLs. This true dual-voice ribbon mic is tuned specifically for your choice of response – warm and full for amplifiers, or swivel for bright and flattering vocals. This ribbon mic will easily sit among the top-rated ribbons in the industry, no problem. Thanks for reading!
