ART M5 Mod vs Stock
Просмотров 85Месяц назад
A tone mod to an ART M5 ribbon mic. Transformer and re ribbon gives the inexpensive, already useful microphone an open and broader sound. If you have a vintage mic that needs help or restoration or an new cheap ribbon mic you'd like to upgrade. send me a message at bass-studio@rogers.com
BBC Modded Reslo Ribbon Microphone Plus

Using an original BBC modded VRT/M Reslo ribbon mic, I show you what they've done from original to their specs. Then I'll demonstrate a mod that I did on a basic RBL Reslo to transform it into a great sounding high output mic.
Love that outro song! Sweet mic too!
The background singers are fabulous!
Nice niche you have now. Enjoying these videos.
@@dannymarks988 thanks Danny, means a lot.
Doesn't have the "glue" of the RCA that seems to happen in the mids, but clearer and more full-spectrum-sounding. A pair wouldn't be so bad to own, great for vox as well 👍🏻. The WA would pair well with analog tape recording of any kind
@@ericvannielsen Thanks for the comment Eric! A pair of WA-44s arrived at the studio today! Time to have some fun!
You say the other side is a little thinner. Have you ever recorded both sides and had the same experience when listening back? Because every time I do that they sound identical. And I heard it’s because hearing it with inverted phase live sounds different because of the room you’re in and even head shape and headphones play a part. but the actual sound is the same when listening back. I always flip phase on singers I record and ask what setting they hear themselves better in. Can be wildly different with headphones but always the same when recorded.
@@mikaellanden7218 Hi, you're absolutely correct if the mic has equal build design front and back. In my case with the 44-A it was just because of hearing my voice in headphones out of phase. Royer designs their mics to be thinner from behind by off setting the ribbon. Thanks for your comment, great info.
The Warm lacks upper mids and is noticibly noiser.
Great sounding mics
Neodymium has been a gamechanger for transducers. Some of the recent stereo earbuds are incredible for fidelity!
what do you think about the cla 10's man.
The CLA-10s are fine, they do what I need them to do.
Good info, well presented.
fantastic video! Would love to hear opinions on the other warm audio throwback mic models
Sorry for the focusing issue, I since realized I needed to light my foreground a little more to stop the camera from trying to focus on the screen behind me.
The drums were a very noticeable difference, with more high end in the RCA. The acoustic guitar was virtually identical. Did you all use a high impedance pre-amp or Cloudlifter Hi-Z for both mics?
Hi David, no inline booster/lifter was used. Both mics were straight into a set of Ward Beck 660's. The WA 44 was quite a bit more output, I turned it down to match the RCA but left it up a bit to show there was a difference. What I noticed on the acoustic was the WA 44 was very muddy sounding. but superior on the drums and vocals. I used Sennheiser DT 990 Pro headphones to put the video together, the differences are much more apparent on the phones. In my own studio, I always use an inline booster and sometimes with an impedance loading device.
i think the difference on the drums is mostly down to mic position. which is why the acoustic guitar sounds a lot more alike!
What a great video man! You guys are very educated and knowledgable you are the elite’s! You’re from Oshawa too, that is so cool!
Hi Doug, thanks for your generous comments! I'm actually in Ajax.
Great test!
Thank you!
Wow! The warm audio mic really packs some bottom end. I wasn't expecting that. Fantastic video, very informative!
Glad you liked it!
THE ELEPHANT😂
Hi Josie!
Really cool. Didn't know about ribbon microphones. Some kind of music during the time lapse video would be great.
MASK! That's the key! I designed my own motor and crimper but I have trouble with the al. sticking to the crimper but I still get some out. But yeah, a mask... blast. I'm having the same issue with duty for my own stuff, it drives me insane. And that transformer... mother ...
Thanks for reaching out, are you leaving the material sandwiched between the wax/parchment paper when running it through the crimper? It shouldn't stick if you do.
@@micsbyshane need to take more care but it was really breathing that kept catching me out. Now I need to work on the tensioner and magnet positioning.
Awesome first youtube vid, bro!
Thanks Dev!
