Tierra Audio New Twenties Ribbon Microphone - Limited Edition

Following the success of the New Twenties Condenser Microphone, Tierra present a new, very different and exclusive version of this microphone: the Tierra Audio New Twenties Ribbon. The New Twenties Ribbon is an exclusive edition, limited to 100 numbered units with certificate of authenticity, which has been designed by and for lovers of high-end ribbon microphones interested in investing in quality equipment that can be revalued over time.

The sound is a hybrid of the Black Bamboo and the original New Twenties condenser, but with a unique personality and character thanks to its powerful custom-made neodymium magnets. Its 99% pure aluminum ribbon is only 1.2 microns shorter than the Bamboo family of mics, and its unique amplifier electronics made from a 1:110 ratio Lundahl transformer and 4 FET transistors calibrated in pairs. The polar pattern of the New Twenties Ribbon is halfway between the 8-shape typical of ribbon microphones and a traditional cardioid pattern.

You'll discover a sound with a slight airiness in the higher frequencies, unusual for ribbon mics, while maintaining that creaminess and sweetness in the mid frequencies, but at the same time dense and deep in the low frequencies; with a tape texture at gains above 25 dB that will bring grain and harmonic content to your recordings.

Like all Tierra products, the New Twenties Ribbon is designed and handmade in Madrid with selected electronic and mechanical components of the highest quality. Its production and calibration process is delicate and involves many hours of effort and concentration, but also love and commitment to things well done.
