Our active ribbon™ mics (SF-24 and R-122) are as sensitive as phantom powered condenser microphones, allowing you to use virtually any mic preamplifier or board pre. The SF-24’s extension cable comes with a Y adapter that splits into separate 3-pin male XLR connectors labeled “Upper” and “Lower” for the upper and lower capsules of the microphone (when held vertically). Frequency response is excellent regardless of the angle of sound striking the ribbons and off-axis coloration is negligible. The magnet/pole piece structure of each ribbon transducer delivers a wide, uniform frequency response with no substantial peaks or dips, and the 1.8-micron ribbons produce superb transient response. Like an SF-12, the SF-24 is actually two matched ribbon microphones placed one above the other in a coincident pair, each aimed 45 degrees from center in the classic Blumlein configuration. The unique electronics and custom designed FET’s used in the SF-24 allow for ultra-quiet operation, with self-noise of lower than 18 dB.

The SF-24’s output of -38 dB is a full 14 dB more sensitive than our non-powered SF-12, putting its sensitivity on par with that of phantom powered condenser microphones. It combines the SF-12’s high quality audio performance, outstanding stereo separation and imaging with our exclusive active electronics system for ribbon microphones. The SF-24 stereo ribbon microphone is a phantom powered version of our popular SF-12 stereo ribbon microphone. Added a preference to make the keyboard window transparent to mouse clicks when MidiKeys.Non-English localisations have been disabled for this release due to the number of UI changes.Key maps were extended to use more keys on the keyboard.It is now possible to have no modifier key for global hot keys, so you only have to press the key corresponding to the note.New preferences to control the visibility of overlay notifications.Pressed key highlights are drawn with a slight gradient.The disclosure button to show the destination and listen menus is now a normal button instead of being a repurposed toolbar toggle button.
The MIDI channel field has been changed to a pop-up menu.New option to show the key caps on the on-screen keyboard.
