Description

Capturing a room, an ensemble or a live performance requires more than precision—it requires microphones capable of preserving the natural depth and character of the moment. The Pinnacle Microphones Fat Top II stereo pair was created for engineers who want the warmth and musicality of classic ribbon microphones combined with the enhanced clarity and extended frequency response of an upgraded Lundahl LL2913 transformer design. Featuring two Fat Top II ribbon microphones, dual shockmounts, a dedicated Blumlein stereo bar and a rugged aluminum flight case, this complete stereo recording package is ready to deliver immersive imaging, natural depth and rich analog character. Whether capturing a grand piano, a live ensemble, room ambience or a full acoustic performance, the Fat Top II stereo pair transforms sterile recordings into recordings that feel wider, deeper and more alive.

Premium Ribbon Tone With Lundahl Precision

Each Fat Top II microphone combines a precision aluminum ribbon element with an upgraded Lundahl LL2913 transformer, delivering the smooth high-frequency response and full-bodied warmth ribbon microphones are known for while adding greater definition and frequency extension. Bright instruments become more balanced, vocals gain depth and realism, and aggressive sources retain their energy without sounding harsh. The result is a refined ribbon microphone sound that captures both the character and detail needed for modern recording applications.

Designed for Immersive Stereo Recording

The included Blumlein bar allows engineers to take full advantage of the microphones' symmetrical figure-8 polar patterns, creating realistic stereo recordings with exceptional spatial accuracy and room detail. This configuration is ideal for capturing acoustic instruments, ensembles, drum rooms and live performances with a natural sense of depth and dimension. The consistent pickup pattern from both sides of each microphone also provides excellent source isolation and flexibility for a variety of advanced stereo recording techniques beyond traditional Blumlein applications.

Built for Professional Studio Workflows

With a maximum SPL rating of 135dB, the Fat Top II stereo pair handles everything from loud guitar cabinets and brass sections to percussion and full-band recordings with ease. The included shockmounts help minimize vibration and handling noise, while the aluminum flight case provides secure protection for transport and storage. For engineers seeking a complete stereo ribbon microphone solution that combines vintage-inspired warmth, upgraded Lundahl transformer performance and natural stereo imaging, the Pinnacle Microphones Fat Top II stereo pair delivers professional results across a wide range of recording applications.
