4038 studio ribbon microphone with carrying case, velvet bag, 4071B mic to stand adapter with XLR cable
The Coles 4038 Studio Ribbon Microphone is of British Broadcasting design (BBC) and used for broadcasting and recording applications.
The 4038 has a proven reliable performance capability, being since its introduction, used by broadcasting networks throughout the world such as the BBC.
The frequency response of the 4038 is exceptionally flat from 30 to 15,000 c/s and throughout this range the shape of the bi-directional (figure of eight) polar response is maintained substantially constant both in the horizontal and vertical planes, giving a natural smooth sonic quality textured response to sound signal being picked up.
Studio microphones have now achieved a remarkable fidelity of reproduction. If the microphone is not close to perfection, there is no point in having expensive systems to take the sound the rest of the way to the audience's ears.
In the world of sound, the BBC has always been the leader, and is still regarded as the 'setter of standards'.

Wish I could afford two!!!
This was on my list of 'wants' for a long time. After saving up, I finally got one; I just wish I could afford two. So far, it sounds amazing on electric guitar in my room about 3' away. Finally a mic that gives me the sound I'm looking for.
Where I'd want a pair is as drum overheads. Lire plus
Right now I've used it in a 'Glynn Johns' hybrid as a room mic, and on multi mic'd drums. Love the sound I get from it as a room mic for drums as well. There's nothing this mic can't handle...except extreme SPL's :P
