Eddie Kramer and Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitar cabinet mic.  'When the Levee Breaks' drum overhead mic.  Bright for a ribbon mic but never harsh.

The Eagles used these live for vocals. Rush 'Permanent Waves' distant overhead drum mics. Very bright for a ribbon mic.

2 short ribbons placed one above the other offset at 90 degrees. Each ribbon has a figure-8 polar pattern which together form a stereo Blumlein pattern.

Dark sounding ribbon mic good for taming overly bright sound sources like guitar cabinets or drum overheads. Also works well for ambient miking. Sensitive to plosives and wind blasts. Often used in conjunction with a pop filter to alleviate stress on the ribbon.

Designed to withstand the concussive blast of gunfire. Cardioid polar pattern. Excellent on guitar cabinets. Both have been re-ribboned by Stephen Sank.

Great on guitar cabinets, especially in conjunction with an SM57. Can withstand higher sound pressure levels than most ribbon mics thanks to its patented offset ribbon design.
