You are incorrect. It is more difficult to do a ribbon microphone than a LDC. Although at NAMM Nady was saying they were going to make it. All they had a an empty mic body though... no insides!


Also, ribbons can be really delicate. With the AEA mic for example, it but be stored horizontally or you'll stretch the ribbon too much. Shipping from China via boat? No thanks...

Buy a handcrafted microphone from AEA or Royer and you'll be very happy with your purchase. You always get what you pay for...
