The Royer 101 Ribbon Microphone is a great, affordable ribbon mic for live as well as studio applications. Jason Richmond, SoundPure Studios Head Engineer, demonstrates how to how he records electric guitars using a ribbon mic like the Royer R-101 or the Royer 121 with a dynamic mic like the Heil PR40 or a standard Shure SM57. This technique works wonderfully for a variety of playing styles - rock, jazz, clean, distorted, you name it. Jason also discusses the benefits and drawbacks from using this technique.
