“Samar Audio Designs: MF65 Ribbon Mic Perfection? “I can attest to the magnificence of this microphone and to Samars obsessively high standards. It is without a doubt my favorite mic...” ” Nick Galieti, Owner – Engineer Independent Music Studios - Salt Lake City, Utah

“… the first thing that is apparent when handling this microphone — the incredible attention to detail. There is no doubt this is a precision instrument.” Slau Halatyn: Samar Audio MF65 review

“It's [MF65] been rock solid with no EQ on all, nothing wanting, clear and precise with great presence… I have not heard such precise and accurate treble with a ribbon before this… It feels precise, with great impulse response. Linear in all the right ways, nothing added in a detracting manner.” Doug Williams, Electromagnetic Radiation Recorders
