Description
The Cab Mic is a purpose-built condenser microphone designed specifically for electric guitar amplifiers. Voiced with the smooth character of a ribbon microphone, it captures the full clarity and articulation of your tone without the harshness often associated with conventional dynamic mics. Its design was inspired by collaboration with renowned guitarists, offering an accessible alternative to expensive vintage ribbons while retaining their warmth and depth. The Cab Mic’s carefully tuned large-diaphragm capsule and low-distortion circuit ensure outstanding performance, with massive headroom that easily accommodates even the loudest amplifiers. This makes it a reliable choice for both live and studio applications, capable of producing professional results with minimal setup effort.
Engineered to deliver a natural yet punchy sound, the Cab Mic works exceptionally well when positioned directly at the centre of the dust cap, giving guitarists a clear and articulate recording with controlled brightness. Its predictable proximity effect allows easy tonal adjustment simply by moving the mic closer or further from the speaker. Built with premium components and a robust steel body, the Cab Mic is crafted for long service life, offering guitarists a dependable and versatile tool for capturing the true voice of their amplifier.
Key Features:
- Ribbon-inspired voicing:
Smooth, musical top end that avoids harshness, delivering natural guitar tones reminiscent of vintage ribbon microphones without the fragility. - High headroom performance:
Purpose-built circuit with low distortion handles extremely loud amplifiers with ease, ensuring clarity without clipping or overload. - Durable steel construction:
Heavy-duty body and premium components provide long-term reliability for studio and stage use in demanding environments.
Effortless Tone Capture:
The Cab Mic has been designed to simplify guitar recording. Unlike traditional dynamics that often sound harsh at the centre of the speaker cone, this mic thrives in that position, providing clear articulation and reduced phase smearing. Guitarists can achieve professional-quality results without complex multi-mic setups or phase management. Its predictable proximity effect makes tonal shaping straightforward, from adding bass punch to tightening the low end, giving players flexibility without compromising clarity.
Designed with Guitarists in Mind:
Every aspect of the Cab Mic was tailored for the demands of guitar cabinets. The capsule and circuitry were specifically tuned to emphasise the rich midrange and smooth top end that guitarists favour, while rejecting unwanted harshness. By combining audiophile-grade components with thoughtful engineering, it outperforms many dynamic, condenser, and ribbon models in this specific application. The result is a microphone that consistently delivers the tone players and engineers expect, without unnecessary complexity.
Reliability Meets Versatility:
Unlike fragile ribbon designs, the Cab Mic is robust and ready for real-world use. It can withstand strong air pressure and high sound levels without damage, making it equally suited for the rehearsal room, studio sessions, or live performance. Its slightly narrower cardioid polar pattern adds punch while maintaining clarity, giving it a distinctive character that stands out in mixes. Built to last with a solid steel body and carefully selected components, it is a microphone that players can trust for years of dependable service.
