SAMAR Audio Design MF65A – Active Figure-8 Ribbon Microphone (Single)

OVERVIEW

The SAMAR Audio Design MF65A builds upon the acclaimed MF65 ribbon microphone by incorporating an advanced active electronics design that delivers an exceptionally low noise floor and significantly higher output. Designed by Dr. Mark Fouxman, the MF65A offers the classic warmth, depth and realism of a premium ribbon microphone while providing the convenience and performance advantages of a condenser-like output level. With optimised ribbon loading and carefully matched impedance, it places far less demand on microphone preamps and cable selection, making it an outstanding choice for both professional and project studios.

Every MF65A is handcrafted in SAMAR Audio Design’s Salt Lake City workshop using precision-machined components manufactured entirely in-house. Custom-designed toroidal transformers, an integrated ribbon fine-adjustment mechanism, and meticulous manufacturing tolerances ensure remarkable consistency, low distortion and outstanding reliability. The result is a microphone that delivers a beautifully balanced combination of vintage ribbon character and modern clarity across a wide variety of recording applications.

Whether recording vocals, piano, acoustic guitar, brass, strings, drum overheads, choir or room ambience, the MF65A captures every performance with exceptional detail, natural dynamics and impressive realism. Supplied in a handcrafted presentation case and backed by a lifetime parts warranty with a two-year ribbon replacement warranty, it represents a long-term investment for discerning recording professionals.
