About the Gladiator ST Active Stereo Ribbon Microphone
Introducing the extraordinary Gladiator ST Active Stereo Ribbon Microphone. This is a truly unique ribbon microphone, equipped with two nanocrystalline toroidal-core audio transformers—a premium choice that delivers a refined, deep, and immersive sonic texture.
Its ribbon element, crafted from pure aluminum imported from Japan, ensures a smooth, musical, and highly detailed response, while the two independent motors (one for each L/R channel) deliver a precise, natural, and three-dimensional stereo image. Each channel operates with a bidirectional polar pattern, offering impressive spatial perception and highly realistic room capture.
The Gladiator ST body is constructed from ultra-durable materials, ensuring ruggedness, longevity, and a luxurious appearance.
With the Gladiator ST, you don't just record—you create sounds that are deep, elegant, and full of life. This is the ideal microphone for those seeking a distinctive, velvety stereo signature worthy of the world's greatest studios.
Rotatable Capsule – Greater Precision for Your Recordings
The Gladiator ST allows the capsule to rotate up to 90°, enabling you to adjust the pickup angle according to the sound source and the desired result. This feature expands positioning possibilities and allows for the creation of different stereo images with far greater control and precision.
Usage Tips and Care
To ensure the longevity of the ribbon, always store the microphone upright in its case. Use a pop filter when recording vocals and avoid positioning the microphone directly in the path of the air blast from a bass drum.
Phantom power from the preamplifier must be engaged for the microphone to operate.
