I'll never use a ribbon mic for live sound again in my book, I've even had some ribbon mic's if you drop them they wouldn't work anymore.


Bill hit upon a true gold nugget of wisdom here, for anyone who may ever use a ribbon mic. Whatever you do, DO NOT DROP IT! Many times, it won't survive.

Another thing to remember is to make double, triple, quadruple, quintuple sure (then check 3 or 4 more times) that your phantom power is off before you plug the mic in. Phantom power will toast a ribbon mic.
