Legendary symmetrical ribbon design is incorporated into the DR-2

Unlike most ribbon motors designed today with an offset ribbon the new Cascade 731R houses a hand-tuned dual ribbon element motor that incorporates the legendary symmetrical ribbon design. This design offers a true figure 8 pattern. The corrugated aluminum membrane itself is positioned in the center from front to back, thus producing a balanced audio input signal to both sides of the ribbon assembly. This design is very useful when executing a mid-side or Blumlein recording set-up and also great for live stage use.  The DR-2's warm full-bodied signature and increased sensitivity is what you would expect and demand from a professional ribbon microphone and the DR-2 delivers. The DR-2 is suited for guitar cabinets,  drum over-heads, vocal, piano, horns, strings and much more.

The DR-2 offers a brushed nickel grill, premium suspension shockmount and an upgraded aluminum case.
