All,
I am considering going for a R-122 Royer ribbon mic this year.
I have never used a ribbon and hear a lot of good things about them. I read
that this mic
is extremely good on electric guitar, percussion and brass.
I was wondering if anyone uses them for vocals with any success.
I read there is some sort of natural compression that is applied to the higher
frequencies. Since the transient respose of the ribbon is in between the
coil and condensor mics wouldn't the best candidate for taming transients
be a coil mic and just roll off the highs OR does the natural compression
in the ribbon really make the sound smoother and silky in a way that a coil
mic can't achieve?
Thanks,
B
