Product information

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.
