Every guitarist knows the struggle: you’ve spent countless hours dialing in the perfect electric guitar tone, but conventional microphones just can’t seem to capture it. They add harshness, muddy the midrange, and often require complex multi-mic setups just to sound decent.
Roswell Pro Audio has heard your frustration and engineered a solution: the Roswell Pro Audio Cab Mic. This is not just another condenser microphone; it’s a purpose-built electric guitar amplifier microphone designed to simplify your recording process and deliver the smooth, professional tone your amp deserves.
Why the Roswell Cab Mic is Perfect for Capturing Tone
The Cab Mic was born from collaborations with renowned guitarists and engineers looking for an affordable, rugged alternative to fragile, high-cost vintage ribbon microphones. It successfully combines the best attributes of classic mic designs into one robust, easy-to-use tool.

1. The Smoothness of a Ribbon, the Reliability of a Condenser
The Cab Mic’s voicing is inspired by the smooth, musical character of a ribbon microphone. This is its secret weapon. It captures the full clarity and articulation of your electric guitar tone without the abrasive, harsh high-end that plagues many standard dynamic mics, especially when placed directly on the speaker cone.
- Avoids Harshness: Experience a natural, warm sound with a smooth top end that sits perfectly in a mix.
- High Headroom Performance: Its meticulously designed, low-distortion circuit and high-SPL capacity allow it to handle extremely loud guitar amplifiers with massive headroom. Say goodbye to clipping and overload, even on the loudest stages or in the studio.
2. Built for the Sweet Spot
Unlike traditional dynamics, the Cab Mic is engineered to thrive in the position that often sounds the best but is usually too bright for other mics: directly at the center of the speaker’s dust cap.
Placing the mic here gives you:
- Clear Articulation: Get maximum clarity and punch with controlled brightness.
- Zero Phase Issues: By eliminating the need for complex, time-consuming multi-mic setups, you drastically reduce phase smearing and achieve a tighter, more focused sound effortlessly.
3. Simple Tone Shaping with Proximity Effect
Need to tighten up the low end for a fast riff or add more bass punch for a heavy rhythm track? The Cab Mic makes tonal adjustments easy. Its predictable proximity effect allows you to sculpt the low-frequency response simply by moving the microphone closer to or further from the speaker cone. This gives you flexibility without compromising clarity.
The Engineer’s Secret Weapon
The Cab Mic’s superior performance is a result of audiophile-grade engineering tailored specifically for guitar cabinets:
- Custom-Tuned Capsule: The large-diaphragm capsule and circuitry are specifically tuned to emphasize the rich midrange and smooth top end that guitarists and engineers covet, while rejecting unwanted shrill frequencies.
- Robust and Stage Ready: Built with a durable steel body and premium components, it’s designed to withstand the strong air pressure and high sound levels of loud amps. Unlike fragile ribbon designs, the Cab Mic is ready for the studio, rehearsal room, or demanding live performance.

Hear it from the Pros: David Grissom on the Cab Mic
“The Roswell Cab Mic has become one of my go-to mics for electric guitar. The smooth top end and robust lows make the mic easy to dial in. I can place the mic in the center of the cone without any harshness. I never feel the need to add another mic to balance missing frequencies; just move this mic around the cone a bit to get the tone I want without any phase issues from a second mic. Highly recommended!”
