I'm surprised nobody has suggested a Beyer M500. I've used them a lot,
and like them, and they aren't very expensive. Anyone used one of cheap ribbon mics I see on
feabay for well under
$100? Yeah, probably get what you pay for ... but I don't have 2 to 4
grand just to play with one. I'm doing some in-home recording of a
tenor sax and I've heard that ribbons are really good for this.
Comments appreciated.
There are lots of different ribbon mics around. Some of them
are not
really ribbon mics in the classical sense. I don't think a Mylar skin with
a ribbon printed on it will sound the same as the old ribbon mics. (they
may sound good, but not the same)
