**************************************************** Hi Chris I fitted the transformer to the MXL mic and it works a treat - a bigger, smoother sound - Great! The mic sounds about 500% better than when I got it. Cheers M
************************************************ Recent email from Larry Killip ribbon mic enthusiast: Did a quick voice test using my RSM-2 ribbon mic (with my own ribbon installed)... first the Lundahl transformer that I already installed in it then the FAB transformer.
This transformer will make your dull sounding cheap mic sound great!
If you want to make your MXL, Apex or any ribbon microphone sound great then change the transformer for this one, you won't be disappointed. As one customer from Hungary recently said "I prepared the test mics, we made a big test and your transformer performed really good(good mid-balance, and high-clear output). I'll need another one to do a pair".Comes with complete instructions. Ships worldwide. Unsure how to change your transformer? Let us help you. Discount for multiples - please contact for details.

It's the FAB 4196. Warmed up the mids and lows but also added a crispness to the highs that isn't at all harsh. Very smooth and musical. Been recording with it for several days now. Like if a ribbon and a condenser had a love child that inherited each of its parent's best traits I installed the transformer in an old Alctron RM15. After I installed the FAB transformer I immediately noticed the increase in clean gain and a much clearer, thicker mid range and smoother top end. I think this is a great transformer, especially for the price and I'm looking forward to installing the second one. Alex. I ordered a 1:48 and it is great in my long ribbon Chinese-derived mic. Wonderful match. So, I am ordering one more as well as the other model you offer. Looking forward to them. David Recent feedback from customer below from Australia modding an MXL R40 Hi Chris, Just a quick note about the transformer. It arrived today, very quick shipping. I swapped out the stock transformer from the mic for yours, what a difference! The signal is incredibly strong and quiet. In addition to this, there is a noticeable increase above 2k. it’s really rounded the mic out. It still has a nice fat bottom end but it now is so much clearer. Thanks again for looking after me with this transformer, it’s turned a cheap mic into a great mic. Cheers, Michael
