Nady Ribbon Mic

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I'm starting to hear some great reports back about this new ribbon mic
from Nady. A couple people I know have compared it to some of their
Beyers, 441, 421s and other mics they have. So far good reports.
anyone know anything about it? seems to be around 300-$400. I havent
found it yet here.

Considering you can get The Real Thing for $1k from AEA... what's the
attraction?

I'm not sure what you mean. if there exists a ribbon mic that sounds
good, is consistent in quality, available and you save $700, why not.
It could play a nice role in someone's studio, of course that remains
to be seen.
Maybe $700 isn't a lot of money for you and any sub $1k mic as a waste
of time. If an "sm57" ubiquitous mic came out today, would you just
dismiss it since it is only $100...or less?

Or "why not?"

"Who were these people?" an aquaintence of mine had bought the
Octava(had to bring it back to GC, got another and couldn't get much
out of it), owns a royer 121 and other mics and told me it's pretty
cool sounding so far. That's all I know. Seems to be built pretty
nicely he said too. I followed a thread on VSplanet that compared it
to some known mics, with pleasing results. Another on
homerecording.com
