NIce vintage sound on the cheap

For anyone who hasn't tried ribbons before, and want a mic with some weight to the sound, rolled off highs and a nice "in the room" feel to the sound, I recommend these. I use them mostly as drum overhead or drum room, works very well in both applications to give weight to the drums - cymbals sounds very nice too.

In OH applications I use them alongside an SDC (AKG C451, Line Audio CM2 or Audiotechnica ATM-450), works well to balance and not have to EQ so much to get different tones. That said, I find these ribbons take EQ well.

Also used on Saxophone as Room mic and it blended very nicely with a Sennheiser MD-421 on the bell.

Dark and vibey

For not much money you get a really dark mic (not much treble) and characterful mic. I use a second mic for distorted guitar recordings. It gives fat sound to add to a sm57's fizzy vibe.

The 2 sides sound a little different to each other so don't forget to check both sides.

Not recommended for people looking for hi-fi clarity. It's a great "vibe" mic.

I recently recorded a pro trumpet player with it and he couldn't believe how good the sound was. Dark, murky ribbons are the way to go when recording brass.

Wonderful mics!

These are some of the best mics out there, regardless of the price, and they are completely consistent - I have 7 of them, and they are a go-to for guitars whenever I am in the studio. Some of the best Ribbons I have ever used, awesome (and quiet!)

Ribbon Mic - great low end response!

I love using this microphone for electric guitars - it gives a really nice 'chug' and and has a great low end response. It looks great too, and the cradle/spider mount it comes with is fantastic. For the price, this really is excellent!

Exceptional quality for the price.

Really lovely warm sound. Great for vocals, and works well on woodwinds/saxes too. Comes in a great little box, and shock mount included too. Excellent value for money.

Wow, this Mic is amazing for the money. The two I ordered had loose ribbons but get them modded worry new ribbons (I use xaudia in UK) and they sound as good as royers!
