Which is why that microphone costs over $5k.

Nice find, Terry!

I love my ribbons. If interested, you might want to checkout Cascade Microphones for reasonable ribbons.

I love this video...a band, all around one ribbon mic...just like the old days.
Sometimes less IS more!

I love ribbon mics. I've used Royer mics and I love their stuff.

OK...sorry to be spamming, but I went to the cascade mics page and listened to some of the audio in their videos. I couldn't NOT buy one. I just purchased one and I'm really looking forward to getting it. I'm really looking forward to getting it.

Cool! Which one?

I think the standard reply to all questions concerning recording sound on a DSLR should be, "Get a ribbon mic". :laugh:

I have a matched pair of Fat Head II's...great on acoustic instruments. I used them for a WarFest score:

I also picked-up a KnuckleHead. It not only looks cool, but sounds great!

I just got the basic fat head.
