This would be an example of the "long ribbon / narrow magnet" style motor. While this ribbon motor is the same as the ShinyBox 46 and Apex 205, the large, undamped headbasket of this PPA-rebranded mic is prone to mechanical resonance (as is the Nady RSM-2 etc.) The smaller headbasket models like the 46 and 205 do not have the same ringing headbasket resonance.
