Marantz MPM-3500R ribbon microphone

Marantz MPM-3500R

The MPM-3500R is a high-quality ribbon microphone that faithfully captures every sound from the subtle nuances of stringed instruments to rock vocals and percussion. Superbly designed and crafted with high-grade components, the result is a durable microphone with high sensitivity, low noise and wide dynamic range. Its dipole (figure-eight) pickup pattern enables it to be placed between instruments and capture both equally.

The MPM-3500R’s low-mass ribbon pick-up diaphragm is specially designed to resolve the extremely subtle details often missed by conventional microphones, yet it remains warm-sounding and natural—never harsh or strident—resulting in a particularly vibrant, lifelike recording.
