Fostex M88RP Printed Ribbon Microphone
Here's a Fostex M88RP Printed Ribbon Microphone from the 1980's! These microphones have a unique "printed ribbon" diaphragm that are unlike any other microphones out there. The Fostex engineering combines the idea of a ribbon + dynamic microphone and puts them together to get a unique combination that has the warmth of a ribbon with the mid-range and durability of a dynamic microphone. Unlike the M11RP, the M88RP is bi-directional and picks up from both sides of the microphone. These have a 3 position roll-off that can be accessed on the back side of the microphone. This one makes a great utility microphone for the studio and has been serviced with a new XLR cable! This one is in great condition, aside from a previous owner scratching out the previous radio callsign on the back of the microphone (see picture). Grab this M88RP from Fostex!
