The 4038 Studio Ribbon Mikrofons and 4072 adapters
The
4038 Studio Ribbon Microphone is of British Broadcasting design (BBC)
and used for broadcasting and recording such sounds where a clear smooth
wide range frequency response, absent of transient distortion and
relatively high sensitivity is essential.
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'.
