Help Shape a New Ribbon Microphone - 1min Survey

Hi everyone,

I'm working on designing a versatile, ribbon microphone aimed at small-batch production, and I'd love your input! Your feedback will help guide key design choices.

Thanks in advance!

I'm your guy.

Crowley and Tripp (now shure) and Royer are my $h!t... much love for the naked eye, which was my primary electric guitar mic for some time! I also love Coles, but have never owned them. They have qualities I don't like as close mics so I can't justify the expense. When available as drum overheads, time permitting, I always shoot them out against 414s, 451s, something neumann and anything random in various positions. Although I had some oktavas over 20 years ago that woulda been great but I suspect the output transformers were loading the ribbon. They were darker than Coles but the midrange was hella rich. I think they were ml52s? Forget, but I liked them a lot if I was on a desk with great inductor EQ to compensate to tape. Any royer or the naked eye are great side-on hihat mics too!

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp
