Durability of the ALDER H44 Ribbon Mic

- Our patent-pending herringbone corrugation gives the H44 superior ribbon durability. Frequency response analysis has also shown that the herringbone corrugation method gives a frequency response that is nearly identical to standard corrugation in the H44.

I think it's awesome how open and approachable about your product you are, I even felt bad for only liking dynamic mics for a sec)
Holy cow that's interesting! Super smart getting a patent, and super cool design.
Just stumbled onto this. I live for ribbon mics. I really need to check this out! Thank you!
Brilliant! There’s my next mic for sure. I just finished the Lij podcast that featured you!
Great work, cool idea. Would be nice to try one.
Really cool. Im considering a Ribbon Mic due to the annoyance of sibilance.
Right on, that's a neat design. I've always been wary of ribbons due to how fragile they are.
Hi! I'm frim Argentina.
If the angled/herringbone corrugation add more strength and rigidity, won’t it affect the flex of the ribbon making less sensitive to sound?? Haha curious but looks interesting!
wow really cool..!!
Can you point me to some additional songs or demos to really feel out the sound of this mic? I am looking for a ribbon mic for vintage-style vocals.
How much effective gain is required to yield lower noise (hiss) when using this microphone?
But this rigidity doesn't affect the frequency spectrum?
👏🏻🙌👍🏽✊🏿
No more fragile rinbons!!!! Yeah!!!!
I wonder if it’s less sensitive if more durable. I recon ribbons supposed to move a lot. Maybe you wouldn’t be able to detect a diff....
How "thick" is your ribbon? Most ribbon mics are about 2.5 microns. For the public, a human hair is about 100 microns thick.
While the ribbon corrugation design is cool and all, I get a sense other aspects of this mic might not be figured out too well. For example, the body of the mic seems like it has a lot of space for resonances to form inside. Also, why use a transformer? Transformerless is way better for transient response. At least so Ive understood..
a dimpled ribbon is another option.
Any ribbon would survive being dropped like that, phantom power is fine on a ribbon, provided you aren't using TRS jacks, like in a patchbay, and if it can't survive in front of a kick drum what exactly has been accomplished? Doesn't seem any more useful than a standard ribbon, which isn't very fragile to begin with, unless you've removed the windscreens. Just put a $10 pop filter in front of it and you can a ribbon fearlessly on anything.
