Fostex M11RP s/n109011


This is just first impression. It arrived today. Serial number is 109011.


Very heavy and impressive microphone.


It sounds smooth.


It sounds big even at 1-2 ft. It is loud or sensitive.


There is bass heaviness due to proximity effect and other known phychoacoustic effects.


Connecting a Pleiades 330mH inductor high pass filter makes the sound comfortably natural at 6in to 12in.


For a more bright high pass but with a gentler slope the Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) high pass filter was connected. The mic can sound very bright, detailed but not harsh as more common mics may do.


The back rejection mechanism leaves the very low frequency content to pass through only when at very close (proximity) distance from mouth to back of mic.


Very big impressive mic for its natural ribbon sound quality.
