Stager SR-3 Ribbon Microphone

Up for sale is a Stager SR-3 ribbon microphone in EXC condition. It is a fantastic-sounding ribbon mic made here in Nashville by Matt Stager, and for the last couple years it has been a part of my home recording setup with which I’ve recorded hundreds of acoustic guitar demos. It is a huge-sounding mic with a super-long ribbon. Paired with an AEA or other ribbon-friendly preamp, it’s as good a ribbon mic as I’ve used. Here are the features: • Passive, high-output ribbon microphone design • Long ribbon element produces an expansive, dimensional soundstage • Combines strong detail and clarity with natural ribbon warmth • Tighter low-frequency response and extended high-frequency detail • Neodymium magnets create a powerful magnetic field • Proprietary toroidal transformer designed and wound by Stager • Internal suspension system helps reduce vibration and handling noise • Symmetrical figure-8 polar pattern captures sound from the front and rear • Well suited for vocals, acoustic instruments, drums, percussion, guitar cabinets, and bass cabinets • Machined aluminum body provides durable studio-ready construction • Handmade in Nashville, Tennessee And a few more details: • Microphone Type: Passive Ribbon • Polar Pattern: Figure-8 • Ribbon Dimensions: 3 x 0.25 Inches • Ribbon Thickness: 1.8 Microns • Magnet Type: Neodymium • Transformer: Proprietary Toroidal Transformer • Body Material: Machined Aluminum Comes in its original wooden box.
