Oh hell yeah. I was in the market for a pair of M160s one of these days, but this just might replace that if the price is right and it sounds as good as I suspect it will.

Damn! I was just about to pull the trigger on the AEA. Gotta hear how these two compare!

Looks like the price is the same. So they’re going right after the m160. Gotta say, I love the m160 but it’s basically welded to my drum overhead so I don’t use it for as many things as I might like to. This looks very interesting. I’m a sucker for a yoke mount too. |

M160 is a piston ribbon and this is a standard corrugated ribbon so I think it's more like a passive competitor to the active AEA KU5A. I like that since I really never like the sound of "active" microphones or "boosters" in front of my nice tube preamps. I do wonder how it sounds compared to the M160 though.

I have one, one of the very first made, I bought it specifically for live cajon, only used it once but loved it. It is a keeper. I also enjoyed a pair of 160s, sold them as I just wasn’t using them since I have other great mics. The SR-5 is the only ribbon, keeper for me so far. In addition to the 160s, I have had and sold KU5A, KU4, AEA ACE (special edition A440) and R88. Other than percussion, although I tried, ribbons are obviously not my thing, especially on vocals. Anybody ever get a hold of one of these? |
