Powerful and versatile.

The Nady RSM-2 Studio Ribbon Mic is designed for use in contemporary studios. It offers the unique natural sound previously only available on such classic large ribbon mics as the legendary RCA 44. Perfect for recording vocals, acoustic instruments, strings, horns, orchestras, choral groups, ambient instrument audio, and many live sound applications.

The RSM-2 delivers the uncompromised sound of a classic ribbon mic with its low-tension 2" 2-micron thick aluminum ribbon. It has smooth, natural response with extended low and high ends and delivers fast, accurate transient response.

The figure-8 pickup pattern offers extended sweet spots and increased off-axis high frequency reponse on the sides with decreased high response above and below on-axis (though with lower audio levels). Individual recording volume control of separate sources is enabled through the use of stereo mic setups where isolation is achieved by placing the source so that it is in the principal axis of one mic and the off-axis null of the other.

The RSM-2 has a machined housing with internal shockmount construction for rugged reliability and includes an integrated yoke mic stand mount, XLR cord, and padded carrying case.

Great Choice

Purchased one of these as a stand in for an RCA model. Haven't missed that RCA. I'd say it performs just as well but at a much more comfortable price range. I'm finally not afraid to let one of my artists touch the mic boom themselves to adjust the distance. Good choice, also, if you need more than one ribbon or are operating on a tight budget.

The only beef that I have with it is that you cannot select the pickup pattern and I would have rather had an XLR plug on the body rather than an XLR cord coming out of it.

Naturally Amazing

We were recording with an Oktava MK219 Condenser mic and it was O.K. When my RSM-2 came in we quickly went to the studio, then armed a separate channel and recorded. As we listened to the original and then switched to the RSM-2 channel to compared, I was jaw-dropped at how natural it sounded. It warmed up my voice and thickened it with no effects added. I hate listening to myself on a recording but with this mic I can actually enjoy the quality of sound coming from the mic. It's a must buy for any recording artist on a budget. To put it simple, you will have no regrets after purchasing this amazing mic. Just don't do what I did and almost run phantom power to it. Luckily I read the precautions right before I plugged it in because this is the first ribbon mic I have ever owned. By the way the only reason I am giving this mic a 4.5 Overall is because of the cord being mounted to the mic instead of having a XLR connection. Handling it in and out the bag is aggravating but that's the only down side I find, and other than that it is the best thing I did for my voice yet.

Good low-cost ribbon mic

I wanted to add a ribbon mic to my modest collection, and the price was right. It's become the go-to mic when I need to record flutes or violins. It gives the instruments a sophisticated depth in the mix.

Warm and Clear

I absolutely love this microphone, especially for the price. It is a very warm classical sounding microphone without the fuzz, very clear. Excellent for Vocalists that have a strong mid/high in voice, even works well for bass and bari vocals...

I've owned this mic for awhile now and is an excellent choice for those of us that are operating on a budget. I found it to be perfect for recording anything that has a bit too much high end (mandolin etc.) but yet still keeping a clear clean signal.
