The ARM-1L is an active, phantom powered, ribbon microphone with a long (2″) ribbon.
The HUM Audio Devices ARM-1 L is an active, phantom powered, ribbon microphone with a long (2″ / 50mm) ribbon. The HUM ribbon has a huge, larger than life, sound with a lot of depth and detail and, at the same time, preserves the classic ribbon sound flavour so much beloved by musicians and engineers.
The ARM-1L is basically the same as the ARM-1S, the only difference being the length of the ribbon (2″ for the 1L and 1″ for the 1S).
The microphone has an integral swotchable high-pass filter: off / 100Hz / 50Hz (see picture).
The difference in sound:
ARM-1L is more contoured, great to add some character to the sound.
ARM-1S is smoother and tonally balanced.
