3552CA Active Ribbon Microphone
The Potofone 3552CA is the active version of the 3552C and is identical in every way with the addition of an internal phantom-powered preamp, providing an additional 20db of exceptionally low noise gain. With unique technology, design features, quality materials, and construction, Potofone Ribbon Microphones are the correct choice for studio and live performance recording. The Potofone 3552CA has a figure-8 pattern and a frequency response that is flat from 30 to 15,000 Hz. The Potofone 3552CA ribbon transducer is of a unique design that minimizes the signal path, from the front to the back of the ribbon. The Potofone is manufactured and hand-assembled in the USA from state-of-the-art transducers, transformers, and materials.
