Description
 
The Hum Audio Devices RS-2 is a unique remote controlled Ribbon recording system including a dual ribbon capsule for Stereo or M/S recordings, built-in Class A mic preamp.

The Hum Audio Devices RS-2 captures a larger than life sound with unrivalled depth and detail while retaining the classic ribbon sound. The microphone itself boasts two rotatable heads which can be set to Stereo LR (Blumlein) mode or Mid/Side. Each head features its own custom 1.8 micron aluminium powered by powerful magnets. Furthermore, the microphone. The microphone body houses two line level outputs powered by two high-end Class A mic preamps based on the Jensen JE990 and featuring Lundahl input and output transformers.

Unlike other ribbon microphones, The Hum RS-2 offers a choice between Active and Passive modes and is controlled by a flexible analogue remote control unit which offers controls over left (side) and right (mid) levels, Polarity inversion, Dimm and M/S encode/decode.
