Review of the Nohype Audio LRM-2 Ribbon Microphone by R.Tschernuth

tschernuth.com

The Nohype Audio LRM-2 impresses with stunning quality at a jaw-dropping price. This Belgian-crafted ribbon mic delivers an open, balanced sound reminiscent of higher-end models like the Coles 4038, making it perfect for vocals, amps, and stereo recordings. Its unique design, effective shock mount, and flawless construction are standout features. Despite lacking a fancy carrying case, the neoprene bag and metal shock mount suffice. However, it’s less sensitive compared to condenser mics, requiring a decent preamp or a Triton audio preamp for optimal use. Overall, the LRM-2 is a superb choice for budget-conscious musicians seeking high-quality sound.
