Check out Nady's new ribbon

Wow!!! Looks cool!... shape reminds Soviet ML-16.
2 micron thick aluminum--not bad. Let's hope they use Neodymium magnets.
Biggest question--what is the transformer? Or should it be immediately swapped to LL2911?
Thanks Flatpicker!... and look for the price.
 
Here I found--vintage Oktava ML16

Looks like it was unveiled at Winter NAMM. Here’s a little blip about it from Electronic Musician with a price:

"Nady Systems was showing a prototype the RSM-2, a ribbon condenser that’s tentatively priced at what would be an astoundingly low price for a ribbon mic, $439. We’ll have to wait and see when this mic is actually released, and what kind of a sound it has, but it’s a promising development from a price."

Couldn’t find anything else about it. Nothing at the Nady site.

The Nady site did have a new multi-pattern tube mic, the TCM 1150. Looks like an AKG C-12 with “an easily replaceable plug-in 6072 vacuum tube.” Can’t find anything else about it either. Wonder how much it’ll run? Looks like Nady’s starting to get competitive.

(Nady) 165dB SPL?!?

I'd have to test that myself...

John,

I am wondering how you gonna test it--I mean where do you get this kind of source?:D
Actually, since the signal is quite low and there is only a transformer inside, for ribbons it is not that unusual. RCA B5 could handle a gun shot in front of capsule.

<astoundingly low price for a ribbon mic, $439>

:D :D :D
 
I wonder how long it takes Studio Projects to come out with their version . . . that looks surprizingly like the Nady . . . and then claim that theirs is better because it's "not an off-the-shelf model." :D
