I thought it was a typo at first....maybe its been around for a while..but I have never heard of it...

Nope that's new to me...and I've got a couple of the "More-Famous-Non-Ribbon-MXL-990's"...

 

[thajeremy]

I used to have one.....I never liked it on anything so I sold it to a memeber here several years ago....I would be interrested in trying one of these ribbon models though....maybe it will be a stupid deal some time soon.....

Yeah--I've got 4 990's that I don't like on anything.

Don't ask. Long story.

Good idea. He can put all 4 of them in a carefully arranged quadraphonic setup, then record from a nearby bathroom with a closed door and running water, then mix it all down to mono using his boombox to master it.

Even then I'll bet the 990's would improve his sound.

I bought one of these a few years back because it came with a free pop filter (I wanted the pop filter). Never used the mic. I've seen somewhere here a mod for this mic though.

Oh yeah, it will be interesting to hear a review of the new "ribbon" version.

Naw! This is the regular ol', runna-the mill, nuttin' spashel, average, everyday plain ol' 9 hunnert an 90 that nawbody likes. That's why I was hoping to mod it a bit. I'd like to hear what the ribbon sounds like though.

9 hunnert an 90

I think this is my favorite....

you have folks what stay in the country dont ya....I's can tell't....


this is funny...I didnt want to type "country" I wanted to type "c u n t r y" but it starred out "c u n t"

 

[thajeremy]

well...lots of views but seems that no one has any reviews on this mic.....

I just noticed in the ad that they recommend NO PHANTOM POWER. Is that common for ribbon mics? I know phantom isnt necessary for dynamics but to my knowledge, it doesnt harm them either.....the ad for this mic says that phantom power could "cause the mic to be unusable"....

Yes, this is typically true.
