What You Need to Know About Ribbon Mics.

Ribbon mics are dynamic microphones that uses a ribbon instead of a coil. This thin piece of ribbon (most of the time is aluminum) is suspended between a magnetic field.

They have been around since the 1920’s although many people in the music studio cannot discern between the two types of mics.
In a ribbon mic the ribbon has two jobs it works as the transducer and the diaphragm.

It is highly sensitive and delivers an entirely different tone than a coil mic delivers.

Ribbon mics are fragile or have the reputation for being fragile because of the thin ribbon inside the mic, so you do want to be careful how they are handled.

They are very detailed but are not overly sensitive which makes them a great addition to any studio that wants a professional sound from drums and vocals alike.

Where They Really Shine.

Ribbon mics shine when it comes to drums, woodwinds, strings, stereo and more. They are a favorite for guitar recording, drum recording and more.

Whether you are working in your home studio or you want a professional microphone for a pro studio a ribbon mic will answer the call nicely.

Now the question is can the Golden Age Project - R1 MKII - Active Ribbons heed the call. Let’s find out!

The Specs.

The specs are basic when it comes to the r1 tube active. It has a 12AX7 tube amplifier and the ribbon is 50X5 mm long. The ribbon is 2 microns thick. It arrives with a 10m cable, aluminum case and a power supply.

Overall out of the box it is an impressive sight. The styling has that vintage mic feel. The price point is just right for this mic, the build is strong, and it clearly was ready for business right out the box.

The Sound.

The recording sound of the R1 was impressive, the hi-fi was present almost to the point where you may confuse it with a condenser mic.

You get the smoothness that you should expect from a ribbon mic without any of the distortion at high frequency that you can get with a condenser mic.

This model delivers plenty of “air” without the distortions. It can hold its own when it comes to delivering smooth sounds and delivers a true clear sound.

On vocals the mic added an almost breathy type sound which was nice. On drums it delivers incredibly.

Overall.

This mic is priced right that is for sure but more importantly it delivers when it comes to music recording and more. Any sound engineer will appreciate the R1.

The vintage appeal of the ribbon mic is explained nicely when you plug up the GOLDEN AGE PROJECT R1 TUBE ACTIVE. The sound is crisp and clear, and the sensitivity is just right.

It is no wonder generations of musicians have turned to this style of mic to capture the best they have to offer.

Overall this mic gets a big thumbs up. It really outshined several other brands in sound delivery and we dropped it twice and it survived nicely.

If You Have Not Used One.

If you have never used a ribbon mic, this is a good one to try. It delivers the classic ribbon mic functions and sounds that keep generations of engineers turning to them to get the sound that they need.

It is a must have for drum recording, guitar recording and more.
