Samar AL95

The Samar Audio AL95 is a figure-8 passive ribbon microphone that represents years of in-house innovation and craftsmanship. Designed and manufactured بالكامل in the USA, it delivers high-end performance at an exceptionally accessible price point, making it suitable for both budget-conscious creators and professional engineers seeking uncompromising audio quality.

Developed by founder Dr. Mark Fouxman, the AL95 features an efficient uni-body construction and a unique motor design that minimizes the number of internal components. This streamlined engineering approach reduces production costs without sacrificing performance, resulting in a reliable, high-quality microphone built for long-term use.

At its core is a piston-style corrugated ribbon, offering significant advantages over traditional zig-zag ribbon designs. This includes lower noise, deeper and more controlled bass response, higher output levels, reduced resonance, and excellent high SPL handling. The robust ribbon construction also improves durability, eliminating the need for special storage precautions typically associated with ribbon microphones.

The ribbon motor is paired with a custom in-house amorphous-core toroidal transformer derived from Samar’s flagship designs. Carefully optimized for the AL95, this transformer ensures extremely low distortion and noise while maintaining a neutral and transparent sound signature across the frequency spectrum.

Thanks to its linear response and modern design, the AL95 is highly versatile and well-suited for applications requiring extended low-end and detailed high frequencies. Its symmetrical figure-8 pattern makes it ideal for advanced recording techniques such as M-S and Blumlein configurations. The microphone includes a durable carrying case, shock-proof clip, and is backed by a 1-year warranty with ribbon replacement support and a 15-day satisfaction guarantee.
