and transformer with a discrete active circuit.  The result is a new kind of ribbon sound with clear highs, open sounding mids, and low noise that sounds great with ANY microphone preamp.  If you've ever wanted the smoothness of a ribbon with extended high-end, the \u003cstrong\u003ePanther MK2 \u003c\/strong\u003eis for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Most passive ribbon microphones become loaded down when used with microphone preamps that aren't specifically meant for ribbon microphones.  The result is a loss in high frequencies and output that sounds blanketed.  The very best passive ribbon microphones use extremely high-end transformers to combat this effect but that raises their prices exponentially.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003ePanther MK2'\u003c\/strong\u003es active circuit provides the best of both worlds.  The transistor circuit has been tuned to make the transformer always see a proper load, no matter what microphone preamp is being used.  At the same time, the circuit provides a boost in output and a lower noise floor.  The result is a microphone that performs and sounds like the very best passive ribbon microphones at a significantly lower price.  Also, its high sensitivity allows it to sound great on a wide variety of voices and instruments.  If you believe that ribbon microphones can only sound good on electric guitars or drums, the \u003cstrong\u003ePanther MK2 \u003c\/strong\u003ewill surprise you with its versatility.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStereo Matched Pairs\u003c\/strong\u003e have been computer matched to ensure quality and consistency when recording.  Each \u003cstrong\u003eStereo Matched Pair\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in its own wooden box.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003eNOS Audio NOS Booster\u003c\/strong\u003e is the discrete active circuit from the Panther MK2 in an external box, allowing you to gain the same extended frequency response and output boost with any passive ribbon or dynamic
