Ribbon Microphone Research

This is my first post of this new blog. Exciting :)

This blog will be focused entirely on ribbon microphone research. I will collect links to ribbon microphone research on the web, as I find it, and I welcome you to also post links to great resources for ribbon microphone entusiasts like me.

So why am I so obsessed with ribbon microphoneds?

The first reason is that ribbon microphones simple sound amazing! Their ability to absorb even very spikey transients is fantastic and combined with the smooth mid-tones sound just makes it perfect for so many occasions.

The other reason is, that I have invested in a new small danish company that build one of the most impressive ribbon microphones I have ever heard - the Tundra POL-8 from Tundra Audio. The sound of this ribbon microphone is just better than most others I have used. It's got higher output, more transparancy and a generaly richer sound.

Anyway - you can listen for yourself at the Tundra website's microphone comparisons page
