Melodium

The Melodium 42Bn is a new ribbon microphone directly inspired by its predecessor, the Melodium 42B.The original microphone, made from the late ’40s until the late ’60s, had an advantage thanks to one part of its design: its ribbon was one of the largest ever made. Surrounded by 4 monster AlNiCo magnets, it delivered a smooth and warm sound through a specific step-up transformer, which was designed to change the impedance but also act as a passive filter The Melodium 42B compares favorably to its American and German peers of the same period.The brilliant Kerwax tech team achieved their quest: being able to recreate this legendary microphone with respect to its original creators, Charles Boutelleau and Emile Furn.The French Melodium 42B ribbon microphone is back. The 42Bn is awaiting passionate audio engineers.Source: Melodium
