The newest addition to the Nuvo Series, the N13 fills out the range as a ribbon mic people can use in less than optimal acoustical environments and in small to medium rooms.
The N13 uses a smaller and lighter ribbon for enhanced transient response which tends to be well suited for drums, violin, and piano. As a midfield mic being used at 1-3 feet from the source, the N13 naturally rolls off some low frequencies to help add more clarity to your sound. The N13 features a new motor design as well as a thinner, smaller ribbon (1.2 microns, rather than our standard 1.8), making it our first non-Big Ribbon bidirectional mic!
