The Coles 4038 Studio Ribbon Microphone is a British Broadcasting (BBC) design for broadcasting and recording applications. It is used where a clear smooth wide range frequency response, absence of transient distortion and relatively high sensitivity is essential.Frequency response of the 4038 is exceptionally flat from 30 to 15,000 Hz 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 sonic quality with smooth frequency response.Distortion is less than 1% at an SPL of 125dB. The stem incorporates cable eyelets for suspended applications, and a Western Electric 4069 type mating connector. This the 30 Ohm version
Features:Pressure gradient transducer ribbon microphone Substantially flat frequency response from 30 to 15,000 HzExtremely low (non-linear) distortionExceptionally low hum pick-upBi-directional (figure of eight) polar curve shape accurately maintained in both horizontal and vertical planesExcellent transient responseNatural clear balanced response to sound signalBody shape to enhance acoustic performanceClear natural high fidelity sound reproductionSmooth sonic textured response
Specifications:Ribbon: Low mass damped ribbon to control transient responsePolar Response: Bi-directionalMagnetic Fields: By use of hum neutralizing wiring and magnetic shielding of the toroidal ribbon to line transformer 30 to 40 dB reduction is achieved in response to stray disturbing magnetic fieldsFrequency Response: 30 Hz to 15,000 HzImpedance: 30 ohmSensitivity: -65 dB W.R.T. IV/PaDistortion: Less than 1% at 125 dB SPLConnection: By means of 4069 3 pin jack plug. Pin 1 positive - Pin 2 negative - Pin 3 screenBody Housing: Made of heavy gauge perforated brass backed by finely woven Monel mesh. Rotating hinge connection allows microphone to tilt through 90° and turned in any direction when either suspended or free standingDimensions: 7¼" (197 mm) x 3¼" (83 mm) x (61 mm).Weight: 2 lb. 6 oz. (1.08 Kg).Finish: Black stove enamel textured paint
