The Joe Satriani Guitar Amp Mic Pack from CAD features two microphones endorsed and used by the guitar virtuoso: the Trion 7000 Dual-Element Ribbon and the D189 Supercardioid Dynamic. Strictly speaking, both mics are dynamic, meaning they have a conductor that moves in a magnetic field. What we commonly call a dynamic mic is more precisely called a dynamic moving-coil mic that uses a coil of wire, whereas a dynamic ribbon mic uses a narrow strip of ultra-thin aluminum.
Here’s a typical setup: The D189 dynamic mic is placed close to the guitar speaker cabinet because it can handle high sound pressure levels. The D189, like other well-known dynamic mics, has a frequency response (40Hz to 18kHz) that does a great job of picking up the midrange frequencies of a guitar amp. It has an extended high frequency range above 15k to add sparkle missing from many dynamic mics. The D189’s accuracy and lack of coloration means no additional EQ is needed if you are happy with your amp sound.
