Warm Audio WA-FT Fen-Tone ribbon microphone

Olive may well use the Warm Audio WA-FT Fen-Tone, but Popeye and Bluto should stay far away. After all, it is a ribbon microphone, and it is meant for engineers who treat their gear with care and velvet gloves. In this case, the ribbon (a ribbon) is 1.8 microns thick, and 1 micron is one thousandth of a millimetre. In return, this delicate microphone does offer a sublime sound recording, one you can easily fiddle with an equaliser with afterwards. Combined with its figure-of-8 directional characteristic, this mic is recommended for loud situations, think pianos, drum overheads, wind instruments, guitars and other instruments with a strong mid-range sound.

So because of these two operating modes, there are also different values for impedance and sensitivity. All
