| Wanted to chime in on the cheap ribbon thing. I bought a Nady rsm-2 last year and really wasn't impressed. Then I started using it "for real". Recorded clarinet and it was perfect. Got rid of all the air hiss, Beat out a modded 414. I've been using it on E guitar for a little while now and absolutely love it!! I did take out some of the filters. It's been great on marshall cab stuff. Full and chunky, not nasally or harsh. It also works great on combo amps, giving them some nice heft. I went from " I should just ditch this thing", to "this mic is a definite keeper." Anyway, I've been debating about blowing the wad on a royer or getting some cheap apex's and doing the self mod thing (and don't worry, still blowing the wad on the royer). Just found some Apex's for under $90 online somewhere so was debating about getting 2 for stereo use. Good stuff. |
