A ribbon with endless applications

The Fat Top from Pinnacle Microphones is an extremely versatile piece of kit. It lends a smooth, well-rounded quality to everything you capture, meaning you won't need to EQ any brittle or sharp high end out of your recording. Its bidirectional polar pattern is remarkably consistent from both faces, and the large null between its faces is excellent for isolating sound sources. It produces natural-sounding vocals both onstage and in the studio, and — thanks to its 135dB max SPL — it can tackle raging guitar cabinets and high-decibel brass with aplomb. Here at Sweetwater, we've achieved fantastic results using a pair of Fat Tops in a Blumlein setup to capture an entire room. Simply put, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better-sounding ribbon mic in the Fat Top's price range — it's a clear winner.
