If I remember correctly, I had a conversation with Mr. Tripp about it at the AES show in NY, and he told me that the machining work on the more expensive mics is all done by hand with a lot of attention paid to detail. For the naked eye the outer shell of the mic is done with some sort of special lacquer, but that the actual ribbon assembly of the mic is the same as the more expensive models.

Maybe Chris would care to comment more about the Naked Eye.

Right now I am trying out the Proscenium and I LOVE IT, it is such a well balanced mic that the only thing I can equate it with would be a DPA 4003 or a Schoeps CMC6, if one may make such comparisons. I think these mics are the DPAs of Ribbon microphones.

Peace
Marco
