The ART M-Five has been engineered to deliver incredibly open and natural sounding
recordings available only from a classic ribbon microphone design.
The active element of the M-Five is a very thin corrugated aluminum ribbon mounted
under low tension between the poles of a strong magnet. This classic design delivers the
warmest and most natural sound reproduction available from virtually any style of studio
microphone. With incredibly fast and accurate transient response and stunning realism,
the M-Five classic ribbon microphone is ideal for todays direct to digital recordings.
Although ribbon microphones are by their nature extremely fragile, the M-Five can
handle high sound pressure levels approaching 148dB range. The low-tension 2-inch
long, 2-micron thick aluminum ribbon design offers audio reproduction with smooth,
natural extended low and high frequency response.
The asymmetrical figure-8 pickup pattern has an extended sweet spot on the rear face
of the microphone allowing the recording to accurately reproduce the natural space and
ambient reverberation of a good sounding live room.
The microphone’s chassis is precision-tooled aluminum alloy with a dent resistant
stainless-steel wire-mesh windscreen. The included shock-mount virtually eliminates
vibration and handling noise, while at the same time safely securing the microphone in
any position needed during the recording process.
Although it is never a good idea to apply any phantom power to any ribbon microphone,
the M-Five does include a protection circuit in series with the microphone's XLR input
to protect the fragile ribbon element from stray voltages that could otherwise irreparably
damage the ribbon.
