Overview

A one-of-a-kind ribbon microphone with vintage tone and modern modular design.

The Scales ribbon microphone from Ohma World provides musicians and engineers a versatile tool for capturing high-quality audio. Its distinctive modular design allows you to tailor both the mic's appearance and tone to suit your needs. The included Scales screens offer a balanced, detailed sound ideal for a variety of applications from recording vocals and instruments to tracking drums.

Customizable Style and Sound

Ohma World microphones feature interchangeable screens that act as acoustic filters to shape the mic's tone. The Scales ribbon comes with the Scales screen set, which provides a crisp, polished sound perfect for most recording needs. You can easily swap the Scales screens for any of Ohma World's other screen sets to dramatically alter the mic's look and sound. Finding the right tone for your needs has never been simpler.

Handcrafted Quality

At the heart of the Scales Ribbon is a meticulously hand-tuned ribbon transducer, the same one found in the legendary RCA 44 microphone. Ohma World tunes each ribbon by hand to ensure optimal performance and consistency. Paired with the ribbon is phantom-powered circuitry and a premium German transformer, which together provide higher output and compatibility with modern recording gear. Though steeped in classic microphone tradition, the Scales ribbon offers modern performance and convenience.

Versatile and Durable

While optimized for studio use, the Scales ribbon is built to handle a variety of environments. Its durable yet lightweight design makes it suitable for home studios, rehearsal spaces and live venues. An extended frequency response and figure-of-8 polar pattern allow the mic to capture the nuances of any sound source with stunning realism. Whether recording vocals, guitars, drums or string sections, the Scales ribbon provides professional-grade audio quality in a portable, roadworthy package.

Features

  • Handcrafted ribbon mic with swappable screens for versatile sound
