Nady RSM-4 Ribbon Studio Microphone $79.99 The Nady RSM-4 is a ribbon microphone with a versatile design that makes it ideal for numerous applications, from close-miking guitar cabs to vocal recording and live use. The RSM-4 mic's unique compact ring shape allows simple, unobtrusive placement anywhere. The Nady RSM-4 microphone's low-tension, 45mm long, 6-micron thick aluminum ribbon design has a typical large, mellow reproduction with smooth, natural response across the spectrum.

Royer R-101 Ribbon Microphone Black $799 The R-101 is a mono, passive ribbon microphone utilizing a patented offset-ribbon transducer and a 2.5-micron ribbon element. The R-101 is hand-built in Royer's Burbank, CA facility and delivered at a price point suitable for home studio use and live applications. The R-101 is a new breed of modern ribbon microphone, designed for studio work and demanding live applications (particularly live electric guitar and brass). It incorporates many features pioneered by Royer Labs, including an advanced multi-layered wind screen for superior protection from air blasts and plosives, a patented offset-ribbon transducer, and an internally shock mounted ribbon transducer system which provides greater isolation from shocks and vibrations, and reduced proximity effect for closer miking with less bass buildup. Throw it on a guitar cabinet, hit record, play it back, smile. The ribbon element's smooth frequency response and phase linearity impart a warm, analog feel to digital recordings, where the depth and realism on playback feels more like tape rolling than digits being computed. A perfect choice for electric guitars, brass instruments and drums, the R-101's figure-8 pattern also conveys superb ambience and depth when used for room miking applications. Patented Offset Ribbon Technology The R-101 incorporates Royer's patented offset-ribbon technology and a low mass, 2.5-micron aluminum (99.9% pure) ribbon element. The ribbon transducer's flux-frame and rare earth Neodymium magnets create a powerful magnetic field which increases sensitivity while reducing stray magnetic radiation. The R-101's offset-ribbon transducer (Patent # 6,434,252) positions the ribbon element towards the front (logo) side of the microphone body. This proprietary arrangement gives the ribbon element more room to move within the prime magnetic field and maintain full frequency response during high SPL recordings. It's an integral part of the magic in all Royer R-series microphones. The offset-ribbon transducer also gives you the option of a brighter response when recording lower SPL sound sources on the backside (3 feet and closer; phase reversed in this position). The backside of the mic is often preferred on vocals, acoustic guitars and other stringed instruments.Like all Royer mics, the R-101 comes with a lifetime warranty to the original owner and the first re-ribbon is free.High SPL capabilities for electric guitar and percussionMulti-layered windscreen provides superior protection to ribbon elementNo internal electronics to overload or produce distortion up tomaximum SPL ratingExtremely low residual noiseRibbon element not affected by heat or humidityAbsence of high-frequency peaks, "ringing" and phase shiftsEqual sensitivity from front or back of elementLifetime warranty, 1st re-ribbon is freeApplications:Close mikingElectric & acoustic guitarsDrum overheads, kick drum Percussion instrumentsBrass, horn sectionsStrings-solo & sectionsAcoustic pianoVocalsLive events-recording and soun |

Beyerdynamic M 160 Dynamic Double Ribbon Microphone $699 Beyerdynamic is one of few microphone manufacturers worldwide that still produce ribbon microphones. The M 160 dynamic double ribbon mic brings you the sonic characteristics of classic ribbon mics with a modern twist. Thanks to the double-ribbon design, the M 160 has an ultra-fast transient response, which gives you superior detail while maintaining the smooth highs that ribbons are famous for. The M 160 is an outstanding microphone that's very effective for all types of remote and in-studio vocal reproduction. In the recording studio, the M 160 is recommended for miking string instruments such as violins, violas, cellos and for pianos, saxophones as well as for hi-hat and toms. It can effectively handle sound sources from pianissimo to mezzo forte. The non-glare black surface of the M 160 and its small dimensions allow unobtrusive use in TV or film studios. When used in conjunction with the Beyerdynamic M 130 figure-8, double ribbon mic, the M 160's matched sound and hypercardioid polar pattern (side attenuation of 25dB at 110 degrees) makes it an ideal "mid" mic for recording in stereo with the M-S (Mid-Side) technique.Unique double ribbon microphone transducerHypercardioid polar patternExtended frequency responseExcellent transparency and transient responseCompact and rugged designWarm and natural soundApplications; Instrumental miking such as saxophone, miking of drums (toms, hi-hat), MS-stereophony with M 130 |

Royer R-121 Live Ribbon Microphone Nickel $1295 With the Royer R-121L ribbon microphone from the Live Series, you get twice the durability in the ribbon element, allowing you to use it anywhere you'd like on stage with complete confidence. HowAfter extensive testing, Royer found a new ribbon thickness for the R-121 microphone that allowed a significantly increase durability with minimal reduction in gain and transients response. The sonic difference is negligible, and the increased durability lets anyone use Royer ribbons in a live environment.Royer Live Series microphones are identified with a red Royer logo (studio models have green or black logos). Live Series mics can be converted to Studio mics with a simple re-ribbon and logo replacement. There is no cost difference between standard Studio mics and Live Series micsA figure-8 microphone on stage? Surprisingly, figure-8 ribbon microphones are an excellent solution for bleed. Bleed can be a real problem with many onstage micsnot just the amount of bleed but the quality of the bleed. Here's how Royer handles the problem.RejectionRoyer ribbon mics are figure-8, picking up sound from the front and rear of the microphone, and rejecting sounds approaching from a) the left and right sides of the mic, b) the top of the mic, and c) the bottom of the mic. These are extremely effective dead zones that engineers use to isolate instruments by positioning the mics in such a way that the dead zones face, and cancel, offending sound sources. Case in point (as told by Royer): "Aerosmith used R-121's in the studio to record the electric guitars on their 2002 CD Just Push Play, but didn't consider them for live use. While rehearsing for their follow-up tour, the bleed in the electric guitar mics was driving the FOH engineer crazy. It was suggested they try using their R-121's and, after we assured them we'd replace the ribbons if they were damaged onstage, the band set up R-121's on Joe Perry and Brad Whitford's guitars. The mics eliminated the bleed problem so effectively (and sounded so good) that Royer R-121's have been Aerosmith's live (and studio) electric guitar mics from that day forward. In over five years of extensive use, they've only stretched one ribbon. An engineer on the crew told us that their Royers had a better reliability record than any of their other touring microphones!"Off-Axis Coloration: There's a lot of sound on a live stage and you can't entirely control for off-axis information getting into microphones, even ribbons. Most microphones color off-axis information in highly unflattering ways, which is why bleed can sound so nasty. Ribbons don't color off-axis information, so any bleed that manages to get into your onstage Royer mics will sound natural, not harsh or colored. About Royer Live Series mics:Royer Live Series mics (R-121L, R-122L, SF-24L) were introduced in 2008, making ribbon mics available to FOH engineers for the first time.

Is anyone building their own music equipment?
I found these Do-It-Yourself Ribbon microphone plans online, and they're awesome:

A really good, studio-quality microphone for about $100!
I haven't built a microphone but I built my own mixer and a couple of amplifiers that I use for monitoring. In addition to building those electronic items, I also built an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar.
The acoustic guitar kit that I had was sold by Martin and it was all the parts for a D18. I took a class to build it, as it was complex and tricky. The guitar that resulted plays decently and sounds excellent. The electric guitar was a kit from Carvin called "The Bolt" and it was easy to build. I like the guitar too, although not everyone likes the sound of the pickup.
So yeah, I built some of my own music equipment.
