If you have a passive ribbon (normally) you can or must be closer, but take attention! Don't blow in the mic!! Take always,always a pop filter for vocals!
Hope that helps

I must ask you since I want to try to duplicate an active ribbon mic by using mostly a passive design and then making it active somehow with the Lundahl LL1927A. How would you go about?
