Hands down one of the best sellers to work with. The FAB 4196 blew me away!
these are a great transformer…no need for Lundahl transformers now!
****************************************************Hi ChrisI 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. CheersM ************************************************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.
Increase in gain of course is the first obvious change, and that is a
big plus. The FAB is warmer with good bottom end. I am going to
leave the FAB in there for now and record some guitar and maybe vocal,
then come back to you.
I was pretty careful to maintain the same distance in each test, using
a pencil in fact to keep my distance exact.
Very interesting Chris.

Recent feedback from customers:-I tried another transformer the other day and was pretty stoked by it. 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
Other nice thing about it is the volume (1:48 turn ratio). Much louder than a T25 or Cinemag. In fact, I was able to get a usable sound without adding either a FetHead or Cloudlifter. On a vocal, it allowed me to back way off the mic to combat the R40’s proximity effect.
At any rate, as the holidays approach, Musician’s Friend is bound to run the R40 for $59.99 on one of its Stupid Deals of the Day (they do every year). You throw a FAB 4196 on it for about $55 more and have yourself a heck of a ribbon mic for $115.
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 R40Hi 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. its 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, its turned a cheap mic into a great mic. Cheers,Michael
