Not only did they sound lousy, they were more trouble than they were worth because they required a power supply. If you were going to use a mic that needed power, you might as well use a condenser! They would more likely to have used a dynamic (moving coil) because for portable use they were sturdier than a ribbon. Mike Biel [log in to unmask]
