Ribbon Microphones

Send us a text


If you have listened to this podcast for any length of time, you
probably know that I am a big fan of ribbon microphones.

In this episode, I talk about my introduction to ribbon mics
while I was in high school, and how over the years I tried to
make them work for me. Eventually, ribbon mics became my
favorite, and now I often do sessions that use only ribbon
mics.

I explain the characteristics of ribbon mics, good and bad, and
suggest ways to get the most from this type of microphone. I
compare the sound and pickup pattern characteristics with
condenser mics, and suggest techniques for several common
recording situations.

I mention a video showing how we mic a grand piano with a stereo
ribbon mic. Here is the link to that video:
