RM-5 ribbons go live!!

The video of Angela Serkevich and Twins Peek with RM-5 ribbons used as stage microphones for guitar cab and drum overheads. Some compression on guitar, no processing on drum OH, no extra mics on snare and toms. It was my first experiment in using ribbons for live reinforcement and they did their job perfectly well!

user opinion

"I installed the RE-154 motor into the SE R1 body. It was a little tricky as the fitting of the motor to the chassis was different, so I made a housing from a piece of wood so the plastic bit would slot into it and then glued it into place. Anyway, the difference is night and day... The R1 sounded very nasal and really bad. Yours, is open with lot's of detail... The instruments tried: Trumpet, Flute, Whistle, Guitar just sound amazing... Best 35 GBP I've spent!"
