ProdIpe Ribbon 1 Ludovic Lanen ... a ribbon mic for 199 € : just perfect!
A must for your studio!

“The ribbon mic has amazing qualities that have made it a benchmark for sound professionals. It largely contributed to the success of the crooners, who enjoyed its especially warm and natural pickups. But as with tube mics, their high price, size and relative fragility meant they were replaced by more practical equipment - only a few purists have continued to work with them, deciding not to sacrifice sound over ease of use.  Now Prodipe and Ludovic Lanen have developed a new ribbon mic boasting a modern design and a price that at last makes exceptional quality available to smaller studios, home studio buffs and musicians”
Ludovic LANEN

With the now affordable price of the Ludovic Lanen Ribbon 1, you will finally be able to rediscover:

• the warm and natural sounds of the 50s and 60s (jazz, rock and roll, and early pop)
• the speed of response obtained from the lightweight nature of a ribbon that comprises 2.8 micron width aluminium
• a respect for the timbre of each instrument and a very natural reproduction of their respective sounds
• an ability to manage very high sound levels (for example, guitar amplifier at full blast)
• high-pitched sounds that are never aggressive (brass, metal percussion), even if the pickup is nearby
• directivity in 8 so you can capture the atmosphere of the room from behind and almost completely isolate any sources that are on either side of the mic

In particular, the ribbon mic demonstrates its qualities when recording :

• electric guitar amps
• drum kit overheads

• brass and woodwind
