SAMAR Audio Design MF65 Stereo Set – Matched Passive Figure-8 Ribbon Microphones (Pair)

OVERVIEW

The SAMAR Audio Design MF65 Stereo Set combines two precisely matched flagship ribbon microphones to deliver uncompromising stereo recording performance. Designed for engineers demanding the highest level of stereo accuracy, each microphone features the same advanced ribbon motor, custom in-house toroidal transformer and precision ribbon tuning found in the acclaimed individual MF65, ensuring exceptional consistency between channels and remarkably accurate stereo imaging.

With ruler-flat low-frequency response extending to 20Hz and extended high-frequency performance beyond 25kHz, the MF65 Stereo Set captures orchestras, choirs, pianos, drum overheads, room ambience and acoustic ensembles with extraordinary realism. The microphones may be mounted individually or used with SAMAR’s optional Blumlein shock mount, allowing engineers to create highly accurate stereo recordings while maintaining precise microphone alignment and repeatability.

Presented in a handcrafted curly maple storage box designed specifically to accommodate both microphones and the Blumlein mounting system, the MF65 Stereo Set provides a premium stereo recording solution for professional studios, classical engineers and broadcast facilities seeking uncompromising ribbon microphone performance.
