RM-5 Ribbon Mics Used in Cirque Du Soleil Album!

It seems that the DIY equipment is stepping up to the next level being used in world class commercial productions. Some time ago I was contacted by one of my customers - Rob Heaney, who appeared to be a music producer, who recorded and produced most of the albums of a world famous Cirque Du Soleil show, he had built few RM-5 Ribbon Mic kits...

I often receive questions about the performance of different foil thicknesses in ribbon microphone motors. The main thing people are interested in is if thinner foils result in "more highs". So, I've tried to summarize my replies in this post and explain the basics of the topic...

I am proud to say that RM-5 ribbon microphones were chosen for the awesome saxophone mouthpiece review written by The Diligent Musician blog. The author compares 19 different mouthpieces for Alto Saxophones in details, with quality audio samples for each model. The article is certainly worth your time, and I would say it is a must-read (and listen) if you are a saxophone player!
