Description
Beautiful and unique, the Ghost BoRbon Stereo Set is a matched pair of fully functional microphones, working on exactly the same principle as our standard BoRbon. Initially designed as a display piece to show the BoRbons internal workings, with the ribbon, magnets, motor and transformer elements all visible through the clear acrylic bodywork.
The change in construction means that the Ghost model has a slightly increased bass response. The Ghost BoRbon has a transformer-balanced output, through a standard XLR socket. The pickup pattern is a slightly forward-offset figure-8. The output impedance is 250 ohms.
As with all of our microphones, these are made entirely in the UK.
The Ghost BoRbons stereo set comes with a gorgeous, lined wooden box and accessories including 2 x Mount-a-Mic adapters with universal joint.
“… these Ghosts are not just sensitive, not just proper, full range sensitive, but they pick out high frequency detail like I’ve never heard from a ribbon before, without sounding ‘forced’…. No hype, no dressing up, just plain master-craftsmanship. And a joy to hear”.
