The ARM-1S is an active, phantom powered, ribbon microphone with a short (1″) ribbon.
The HUM Audio Devices ARM-1 S is an active, phantom powered, ribbon microphone with a short (1″ / 25mm) 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-1S is basically the same as the ARM-1L, the only difference being the length of the ribbon (1″ for the 1S and 2″ for the 1L).
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.
