Ribbon Mics on Saxophone (R84 R121 4038 BIV-1)
Check out this Saxophone Ribbon mics comparison session. An alto saxophone with mic’d with AEA R84, BashAudio BIV-1 (Russia), Royer R121, Coles 4038 (UK) – one performance recorded via Sytek MPX-4 preamp (3&4 with BurrBrown opamps). Mic placement about 18-22 inches away from the sax.
Sax player is Gibson Diwa who was 17yo at the time (and only 10 lessons to the instrument). Here is a video of the sax ribbon mic session (audio mix using R84) to show that he stayed steady in position to center the mic array. Check the video to see how the ribbon mic array was arranged for the sax recording session.
Also sharing the raw audio files of the recording for study/evaluation, no eq or comp, level matched via preamp gain. Download from this link Ribbon Mics on Saxophone (R84 R121 4038 BIV-1)
We have many more ribbon mics in our mic locker.
