The Mesanovic Model 2 is a handcrafted ribbon microphone that blends classic character with a distinctly modern edge. Built in Detroit, this passive design uses a finely tuned aluminum ribbon and a carefully engineered motor structure to deliver a sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly open. It captures the warmth and depth that ribbon microphones are known for, while adding an uncommon sense of clarity and high frequency detail that brings out subtle nuances in any performance. A custom in-house transformer helps shape a smooth, dimensional sound with low noise and impressive detail, giving recordings a sense of space and realism. The slim, straightforward design makes it easy to position in a wide range of setups, whether in a studio or a more compact recording environment. Its balanced response allows it to handle everything from vocals and acoustic instruments to louder sources like guitar amps and drums without losing its composure. The Model 2 is a versatile choice for those looking to explore beyond traditional ribbon applications. It responds quickly to transients and maintains a full, natural low end, making it just as comfortable on delicate passages as it is on more dynamic material. With its thoughtful construction and reliable performance, it offers a dependable tool for capturing sound with depth, clarity, and character.
