Simple question about ribbon mics
Simple question: is a ribbon mic classified as a dynamic microphone? some models are 'dyanmic ribbon'. while others are just 'ribbon'.
?I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.?

What the hell happened to the "Paul Fund"?????
-$14.00. That is F-ing weak!
PS I think they are dynamic. There was a thread about this a few weeks ago.

I has always read and thought they were dynamic, based on the action and pricipal. But then again, royer makes a phantom powered stereo ribbon. Again though, aren't there some phantom powered dynamic mics?Huntlabs wrote:PS I think they are dynamic. There was a thread about this a few weeks ago.
That is something that I have never gotten to the bottom of, phatom powered dynamics... ? More power to the mic for more clarity?
sorry if I made this just a big blur

Re: Simple question about ribbon mics
A ribbon mic is dynamic. The Royer 122 is an active ribbon (the first of its kind). I believe the active circuit in the 122 is after the ribbon, but not charging the capsule like a condenser mic. I believe the Blue Ball phantom powered dynamic mic is a similar principal.
I'm sure one of the more technical guys can go into more detail if needed.

Re: Simple question about ribbon mics
yeah I heard about those phantom powered ribbons not long ago. The +48v doesn't touch the ribbon, it's used for something else in the microphone but I forget exactly what it is.
I guess, technically, you COULD call it a dynamic microphone, as it works on the same principles and what not. It probably got it's own classification because it's so different than your traditional dynamic mic.

Is it just me or does that SF24 look like a marital aid??? All gold and long and ribbed for her pleasure and all.
Re: Simple question about ribbon mics
we had a fine discussion on the dynamic quality of ribbon mics a couple of weeks ago. UTFSF...
