    Ribbon mikes and SPL

    Can ribbons handle high SPL alright? Any problems putting them on guitar cabs? I looked at the Beyer site and they don't give max SPLs in the specs of their ribbons. Also, I seem to recall someone saying they thought the manufacturers of the Chinese ribbons were exagerating their max SPL...
