B&O ribbon

[GKennedy]

Hi - I have been hanging around here for a while. I thought it was about time I registered and made some sought of contribution.

I have a chance to buy a referbished B&O stereo ribbon mic. I have been drooling over the royer stereo mic for ages but cant quite bring myself to part with that much cash. The 30 - 40 yr old B&O is about 1/2 the price of a new royer.

I allready have 2 STC 4038s which I love setting up as crossed fig 8s, but they are a complete pain to safely fly from a concert hall roof so this is the obvious attraction of a single point stereo ribbon.

I am expecting that I will need a bit more mic amp grunt than with my 4038s. Am I asking for trouble if I get the B&O? I know the connectors are hard to get hold of. Should I just wait another 6 months and get a royer....???

Thanks

GK

You will no be disapointed with the B&Os. Trust me they are super mics. If you dont buy it, please pass the details on to me as I would love another one.
