Pinnacle Microphones Fat Top Ribbon Microphone Stereo Pair - Black

Some recordings aren't about capturing a single source—they're about capturing a space, an atmosphere and the interaction between instruments and the room around them. The Pinnacle Microphones Fat Top stereo pair is designed for engineers who want the warmth, depth and natural imaging that only a stereo pair of ribbon microphones can deliver. Featuring two Fat Top passive ribbon microphones, dual shockmounts, a dedicated Blumlein stereo bar and a rugged aluminum carrying case, this package provides everything needed to create immersive stereo recordings with classic ribbon character. Whether capturing a full ensemble, a grand piano, room ambience or a live performance, the Fat Top stereo pair delivers the smooth, musical response and spacious imaging that have made ribbon microphones a studio favorite for generations.

Classic Ribbon Warmth in Stereo

Each Fat Top microphone is built around a precision aluminum ribbon element that delivers the rich, rounded sound ribbon microphones are known for. The microphones naturally soften brittle high frequencies, smooth harsh transients and add warmth to vocals and instruments without sacrificing detail. Guitar cabinets sound fuller, brass instruments remain powerful without becoming aggressive and pianos retain their natural body and resonance. Working together as a stereo pair, the microphones create a cohesive and balanced stereo image while preserving the musicality and analog character that make ribbon microphones so desirable.

Perfect for Blumlein and Stereo Recording Techniques

The included Blumlein bar makes it easy to take advantage of one of the most respected stereo recording techniques in professional audio. With their symmetrical figure-8 polar patterns, the Fat Tops excel in Blumlein configurations, capturing a realistic sense of space, depth and room ambience. The microphones also perform exceptionally well in other stereo applications, from drum overheads and room microphones to ensemble recordings and acoustic instruments. Their strong side rejection helps maintain focus while preserving the natural environment around the performance.

Built for Professional Studios and Serious Recording

With a maximum SPL rating of 135dB, the Fat Top stereo pair is capable of handling demanding sound sources ranging from loud guitar amplifiers and percussion to brass sections and live ensembles. The package includes two dedicated shockmounts to minimize unwanted vibration and handling noise, while the included aluminum flight case provides secure protection during transport and storage. For engineers seeking an affordable stereo ribbon solution, the Pinnacle Microphones Fat Top stereo pair offers warm ribbon tone, stereo imaging and practical studio versatility.
