The ribbons with their figure-8 pattern, have good off-axis rejection. Therefore, you can set the bass up next to the drums w/o isolation.

Andy, have you used the Beyer M130 on bass?
I ask because I have tried it, and the results were very good, but I still preferred the SDC in the bridge. I'm wondering if a different fig. 8 ribbon would produce much nicer results, but the M130 is the only fig. 8 I have.
