Tierra Audio Bamboo Passive Ribbon Microphone

The Tierra Audio Bamboo is a passive ribbon microphone with pure creaminess and personality. It provides a rounded sound, with a very low noise level and a frequency response rich in harmonics. It's designed for those who pursue the naturalness and warmth characteristic of ribbon microphones. The figure of 8 polar pattern works great for greater harmonic content and natural gain while capturing the ambiance of the room. It incorporates a Lundahl transformer to ensure maximum quality and durability, as well as coloring the sound in a way we all love!

All Tierra Bamboo models are handmade in Spain with resistant, modern products that meet their demanding environmental requirements. The particular frequency response and different harmonic content of each provides significant versatility as well as enormous artistic and technical potential.

The Bamboo microphone's operation is based on a transducer built from a pair of high-power magnets (the most powerful magnets on the planet) flanking a corrugated aluminum tape of 1.8 microns thick. The result of this process is high sound quality and a very low noise level.

In addition, the Bamboo range incorporates a new multidirectional (anti-pop) windbreak system with several strategically distributed layers, much more efficient and stable than those currently available on the market. They also feature a continuous mass electronics system that minimizes the noise floor and eliminates intermediate mechanical elements.

As a culmination to all the technical deployment mentioned above, the Bamboo ribbon microphones perform the amplification stage using transformers of the prestigious Lundahl brand, synonymous with quality and durability.

Tierra have opted for a packaging consisting of an elegant and resistant box with bamboo finishes, in addition to another recycled cardboard box that facilitates its transport wherever you want. Inside, you will find a recycled cotton bag to protect the microphone during studio or live sessions plus a clamp for mounting.

The Bamboo range is part of Tierra's GREEN initiative, in which they plant a tree for every 5 units of the ribbon microphone line!
