Yes, the Royers also have an asymetrical response from front to back. Not all ribbons do, such as the Coles 4038, or the Beyerdynamic. This makes them theoretically better for mid-side applications. I'm in the process of comparing the Fat Head II next to a 121. I'll have to check out the C&T's also. How are these newer manufacturers selling these mics so cheap?
