Coles Microphones

 

Coles microphones are produced in England using the exacting standards put first forth the by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corp) in the 1950's.  

The best-known Coles mic is their model 4038, a ribbon mic prized for it's chocolatey, warm top end.  These provide a beautiful, round timbre to instrumental sections/groups and for  overhead drums, sometimes in conjunction with a pair of condenser 'room' mics for additional clarity and snap, sometimes on their own.

Coles microphones are sold individually and in matched pairs.
