Up for sale is a Stager SR-3 ribbon microphone in EXC condition. It is a fantastic-sounding ribbon mic made here in Nashville by Matt Stager, and for the last couple years it has been a part of my home recording setup with which I’ve recorded hundreds of acoustic guitar demos. It is a huge-sounding mic with a super-long ribbon. Paired with an AEA or other ribbon-friendly preamp, it’s as good a ribbon mic as I’ve used.

Here are the features:

• Passive, high-output ribbon microphone design
• Long ribbon element produces an expansive, dimensional soundstage
• Combines strong detail and clarity with natural ribbon warmth
• Tighter low-frequency response and extended high-frequency detail
• Neodymium magnets create a powerful magnetic field
• Proprietary toroidal transformer designed and wound by Stager
• Internal suspension system helps reduce vibration and handling noise
• Symmetrical figure-8 polar pattern captures sound from the front and rear
• Well suited for vocals, acoustic instruments, drums, percussion, guitar cabinets, and bass cabinets
• Machined aluminum body provides durable studio-ready construction
• Handmade in Nashville, Tennessee
