What is the function of the switch with the straight line and angled line?
Brian C
on Sep 13, 2021
BEST ANSWER: It’s a low frequency roll off switch. When flat, all the lower frequencies pass through. The “angled” setting rolls off the low bass frequencies - typically 50-80 hz. It prevents the muddiness of those lows creeping into your mix. It also reduces “proximity effect”, when vocals get boomy because the performer’s mouth is too close to the mic.

The angled line represents a "high pass filter' or a " bass roll off" When the switch on the angled line, it reduces the low frequencies that are almost always unnecessary for a good recording. It reduces low frequency rumbling sounds such as a passing truck that could add noise to your recording. The straight line mean that the high pass filter is off and the microphone will pick up very low frequency sounds.

That is a low frequency cut off filter to eliminate low thuds sounds from bleeding into the mic. Very Typically a 20hz or 10 hz filter. Super great Ribbon mic BTW. I'd spend $700 if the cost that much.

That's the high pass filter. Engage this of you're recording vocals or higher frequency sounds to help control or even eliminate any low end rumbles, such as traffic, air conditioning, etc.

The side with the angle down is a low cut designed to reduce low frequency sounds from your recordings - the side with the straight line does not remove low frequency sounds.

This is a high pass filter, that cuts excessive rumble from the signal when set to the angled form. Reduces bass, it’s a pictogram of bass frequency being cut or left flat.

The one with the straight line is a -10db overall reduction, while the one with the bent pad, is a reduction in bass response, if boominess is an issue.

That is a lo cut filter that reduces low bass. When the mic is very close to a source bass is exaggerated and the filter helps restore the balance.

Angled line reflects high pass filter (it rolls off some of the low end which limits rumble and over accented bass frequencies...)

Would this be good for Trumpet? My friends are buying Royer but I cannot afford that.

BEST ANSWER: Ribbon Mic's are fairly fragile... I am happy with the performance of the two I have but I use them for acoustic guitar so very little "wind" hit's the mic ribbon. If you are careful you can use this but direct impact might be to severe so blow "off access"... Note these are a bit noisier than Royers (hence the pricing differential)... but if you are recording in an ensemble environment, the noise will be somewhat buried. If you are looking for "live performance mic" you are better off with a Shure 57 or 58 which are less sensitive but more rugged.

I think, depending on your style, you might like this mic. I bought two, and while they both have that ineffable ribbon quality they do not sound the same. One is noisier than the other. If you got the noisy version, but had an aggressive style the noise would be masked and you’d still get the smoothness of the ribbon, at least if yours sounds like mine. I will probably try to take them apart and match them before I use them again. I’m all about stereo.

It's not on a par with a Royer but it will work on trumpet. I've tracked trumpet, alto saxophone and trombone with it. It's a bargain for sure but it's not going to sound like a Royer (which I also own and use). Good luck!

I did not get an user's manual or spec sheet with the product. Are we supposed to intuit this information? Am I supposed to use phantom power or not? Recommendation for a preamp that works well with this? Do I need a high gain one? Some ribbbon mics can be damaged by using phantom power.. Does it have an internal preamp? can this be tuirned off? All kinds of interesting questions....

BEST ANSWER: It requires phantom power because there is a preamp built in. As for preamps, I've used an RNP and the Midas ones and they work fine.
Answers to questions not asked :-) = Front and back are different, so it's not the best mic for M/S recordings. Sides sound almost similar, but not identical. I haven't used it enough to know what side I prefer This is the first ribbon I've owned. It's ... weird. It has much more extended hi-freq response that what I've read that a ribbon usually has.
One last thing - the head basket does not sound nice. I think it needs to be dampened, so I use this with the foam windscreen protector all the time.

Great questions! Yes, the mic requires phantom power. I am using it in a home recording setup as a vocal mic because of its warm sound and have fallen in love with it. I use an ART USB Dual Pre-amp/Computer interface. I have it set to about 18db of gain as opposed to a condenser mic on the other side of the interface that only needs 8 db of gain to match levels. There are only two switches on it, one for Low Frequency roll-off and one for a 10db pad. Hope this helps.

From Monoprice's site:
BEST ANSWER: You don't have to intuit this information, it's available on the Monoprice web page for this mic. It's described as having active electronics and requiring +48 VDC phantom power. The sensitivity is ‑32dB ±2dB (0dB=1V/Pa @1kHz). It will work fine with your favorite mic preamp assuming it supplies phantom power.

Is the ribbon corrugated? Thanks
Carlos Lopez L
on Jan 21, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Yes, the ribbon is corrugated. This is a "straight-forward" ribbon mic, with a very "ribbon mic" sound: Large "full" bass, super smooth mid-low response, detailed mid and upper-mid response, and a high-end that rolls off starting at about 14kHz. Note: Like most ribbons, this mic stops responding at around 17kHz to 18kHz. If you place a ton of importance on a presence peak in the 14kHz to 19kHz range that you get from many (most) condenser mics, then you may not like the sound of a ribbon mic.

Hard to tell, precisely, due to the pattern of the screen. If it is corrugated or embossed, it is not deep. Ribbon assembly is massive - running the full length of the enclosure and 2/3rds of its width. Performs beautifully. Hope this helps.

I am interested in using two of these in Blumlein pair, is the figure 8 pattern evenly sensitive on both sides? Are these a good choice for an entry-level Blumlein pair?
David P
on Jan 5, 2021
BEST ANSWER: I think it depends on what you are recording. Mine sound the same on both sides. Generally I would say they were too dark for general blumlein recording such as orchestral or choirs but ok for bright things such as drums as room mics. I would go with normal condensers for general blumlein pairs such as Cad m79 for budget figure 8. Hope that helps.

It took a while to get them but they are outstanding for a Blumlien pair, very worth the wait Andrew. I just used them for room mics in a drum tracking session and there's are better than the other pair of Sterling ribbons I have. Are they as good as Royers? IDK, can't afford Royers, but I 100% love the results I'm getting.

Would this make a good vocal microphone?
Gary Z
on Jan 8, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Typically ribbon mics are used to capture guitar cabs, drums overheads or room. I would not use it to record vocals because of the plosives when doing P's. Also, one user compared these to the Coles microphones, which are dark sounding microphones. I'd suggest you get the LTM500, it's a tube mic, more warm sounding and perfect for vocals. Or if you want another mic in the same price range the LC200 is a great option, but more bright and less round sounding if you will

These mics have a mellow tone, so they are popular to "mellow out" something like an electric guitar cab. They can be used to "take the edge" off a screechy vocal. SOME vocals it will really shine on, if a gentle sound is what you're hoping for.... Jim Reeves vocal... YES..........Punk Rock vocal... NO.

BEST ANSWER: If you mean blumlein, I have used them on drums front of kit and room for acoustic guitar / vocalist. I liked them in both applications, but they were mixed with close mics both times.

I have used this mic with various cardioid condenser mics for drum overheads in an MS configuration. An EQ is definitely necessary to match and blend the responses of both mics. I've been very happy with the low end and the smooth, UN-harsh cymbal tones.

Is the front of this microphone the side where the switches are located? It appears that the LR100 is out of phase with other mics if this side is used, so I just want to verify that I’m using the correct side to address the captured source.
New User U

BEST ANSWER: This mic utilizes a "figure-8" polar pattern. Which means that both the front and back sides of it's internal metal windscreen are equally sensitive to the acoustic source either side is directly facing (specifically referring to the the broad and flat sides of the windscreen - one side with the two switches beneath it, and one side without the switches). Each side is identical to the other, and each side's polar pattern is unidirectional. Hence "figure of 8". If you are recording a single source (a vocal), you can use either side. Figure 8 is obviously ideal for recording two vocalists simultaneously, and it also makes a very good ambient, or room mic, as can also be used as part of a "mid-side" setup.

Amazing sound for that insane price!
I got a pair of these and a pair of Coles 4038 for drum and guitar cabs. After EQ, both brands sounded remarkably similar. The Monoprice mics have more bass around the 125 Hz - 300 Hz range, but with EQ those mids and highs were there. I cannot believe what a value these are.

Works good for tube guitar amp speaker mic etc.
I got it on sale and it is well worth the money. I use it on a Celestion speaker for crunchy guitar tube amp sounds. It tames the crunchiness and adds a dark full sound----I also use a sm57 in conjunction and its a nice balance---neither one sounds as good alone. Nice addition to my mic collection. Both sides of mine sound pretty much the same. Probably would work good on any bright sound you want to tame such as a sax or trumpet etc. I like that it is active and has plenty of gain / level. Mine seems quiet enough. Would buy again.

It is good. It sound similar to a Rode NT1 original series but with a figure-8 pattern.
I would have given it a four star rating but there is one issue. The microphone is not shielded very well. It will pickup 60Hz in certain olcatioc in my studio. If I move to another place the hum goes away. I do not have this problem with any of my other microphones.
I scaped some of the powder coating off of the body to maybe help the grounding. I will ceck the results.

Good value
Mellow sound, low noise. This may be the ticket if you are recording a bright source signal.
