Samar AL95 Ribbon Microphone

Whether you're tracking guitars, vocals, or room ambiance, the AL95 delivers world-class ribbon sound at a fraction of the expected cost.

Designed for artists, engineers, and studios of all sizes, the AL95 brings Samar Audio’s renowned ribbon transducer technology into an accessible package - without compromising on quality. Handcrafted in Salt Lake City, it features a meticulously tuned, extended frequency response and exceptionally low distortion, making it an ideal choice for capturing rich, natural sound across a variety of recording applications.

At the heart of the AL95 is Samar’s ‘piston’ corrugated ribbon, a design that significantly enhances bass response, reduces noise, and increases SPL handling compared to traditional ribbon microphones. The precision-engineered motor and in-house toroidal transformer, inherited from Samar’s flagship MF65, contribute to its smooth, detailed sonic character. Built with an innovative unibody design, the AL95 uses a minimalist yet highly efficient construction, allowing Samar to offer this no-compromise microphone at an industry-defying price.

With its symmetrical figure-8 pickup pattern, the AL95 excels in stereo recording techniques like M-S and Blumlein, while its robust construction ensures years of reliable performance. Each microphone includes a shock-proof clip and a US-made injection-molded case, backed by a one-year parts and ribbon replacement Samar warranty.
