Ohma WorldMotif Ribbon Microphone Teal & Apricot
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The teal-and-apricot Motif is a modular ribbon microphone with a bidirectional pattern and an included Motif magnetic screen. That screen functions as an acoustic filter, giving the mic its described polished balance of full lows and silky highs. Swapping to other Ohma World screen sets changes the tonal profile as well as the look. With a 20 Hz–20 kHz response, it is intended for guitar amps, drums, string sections, and vocal recording in home or professional studio setups.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording guitar amplifiers and drums, applications named for the Motif’s extended frequency response.
- Tracking string sections and vocals in home or professional studio recording setups.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
