Cascade Audio Systems "Gomez" Michael Joly Edition

The new Cascade Microphones "Gomez" Michael Joly Edition ribbon mic uses a short, single-ribbon motor for broad vertical and horizontal pickup free from the off-axis coloration found in dual ribbon mics.  The structure of the "Gomez" ribbon motor provides a tailored high frequency response ideal for guitar cab use or vintage-sounding "soft top" vocals.  In a new innovation, the ribbon motor is installed in an optimized headbasket - a round, single layer grille designed to offer an open sound with reduced internal standing waves.  Michael Joly notes: "While there are many design features that contribute to great microphone performance, part of my success upgrading microphones can be attributed to the use of a single-layer grille.  A single layer grille reduces standing wave reflections between the grille and transducer to allow recordings with greater clarity".
The Cascade Microphones "Gomez" Michael Joly Edition features a renowned Lundahl ribbon mic transformer, custom PC board, high-quality Switchcraft XLR connector and Evidence Audio LYRIC HG wire with IGL copper.  The microphone is packaged in a sturdy and attractive aluminum case with shockmount.
