The Motif ribbon mic from Ohma World combines classic ribbon microphone character with innovative modular design. With its durable build and extended frequency response, this mic easily captures the intensity of guitar amps and drums, the nuances of string sections and the subtleties in vocals. The Motif ribbon gives you a balanced, textured sound that integrates seamlessly into any mix.

Customizable Sound and Style

Ohma World microphones are modular, allowing you to effortlessly change both the appearance and sound of your mic. Each magnetic screen acts as an acoustic filter, providing a distinct tonal profile. The included Motif screen produces Ohma World's signature polished sound, with full lows and silky highs that work for all instruments. You can swap it out for any of Ohma World's other screen sets to shape your tone.

Handcrafted Quality

At the heart of the Motif Ribbon is the same meticulously hand-tuned ribbon used in the legendary RCA 44. Ohma World's expert technicians carefully tune each ribbon at their Los Angeles workshop to ensure consistency and accuracy, giving their mics a signature sound. Complementing the ribbon is phantom-powered active circuitry and a custom German transformer, providing higher output and compatibility with any setup. Whether recording at home or in the studio, the Motif Ribbon meets all your needs.

Premium Components, Versatile Performance

Great for musicians, engineers, home studios and all instruments, the Motif ribbon combines premium components for rich, detailed sound. Its figure-8 pattern and extended frequency response capture all the subtleties. The Motif screen gives you a polished, ready-to-use sound, while the swappable screens let you customize your tone. This mic comes with a sturdy drawer box, two guitar picks and a microphone clip.
