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!

DIYAC RM-5 hand-crafted ribbon microphone

user opinion

"I was playing a duo gig with a vocalist recently. Small festival, medium stage. I took the RM-5 microphone with me. It was a great success! Warm and big sound, nice contours in the mid and high register. I never thought about using this microphone live, but in a chamber music context it works beautifully. I'd recommend the RM-5 for any acoustic or chamber style live recording situation!"
