Fostex M55RP


It has just arrived. Hand engraved on it is Western Recorders.


The grill was slightly dented so it was undented by pushing from inside with the back of a toothbrush. It was also washed and thoroughly cleaned.


Very beautiful mic.


Warm sound and extended treble.


Connecting a Pleiades 100Hz, ie 330mH filter removes bass proximity but a lot of midrange is left again from proximity effect.


A Pleiades gentle slope 130Ω,40mH filter was also connected. The sound is bright. The right values of R,L have to be found experimentally for this 250Ω coil ribbon microphone. The Danbridge D13A decade inductor box which is to arrive soon should be very helpful.
