warwickhunt Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Going through 'stuff' and I'm clearing out when I found these... Had these for yonks and I'm going to sell them but have no idea of worth... if they have any (came to me 20+years ago with a load of stuff I bought and they've been at the back of the draw ever since)! Info on casing plate; Ribbon Mirophone 30/50 ohms Made in England Reslosound Ltd They have 3 pin fittings but a normal XLR won't fit. I've no further info so if anyone can give me some guidance it'd be appreciated. Quote

[/quote] Crikey moses! I usually check eBay before asking about values but just assumed these would be too obscure/old! Heck if I can get that for the pair I'd be chuffed! Off to Google the brand etc. but if anyone has some first hand experience of these things it'd be appreciated! Quote

Certainly no cables or transformers. Quote

Mr. Foxen Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 Was talking about ribbon mics with Garcia recently (rock and roll). Very delicate and can break if something blows into them, like a person or a kick drum hole. But they make fantastic room mics, and he is after some, so shoot him a PM. Quote
stevie Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 Reslo ribbons were used by vocalists before the SM-57 made them redundant. As a vocal mike they were muffled and fed back badly. British made though - and vintage. Quote

dangerboy Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I have one of these. It's OK, but it's not a patch on a lot of other ribbons. Quote
