Reslo/Xaudia 'The Beeb' vintage ribbon microphones (pair) 1960's

This is a pair of Reslosound RB vintage ribbon microphones from the early 60's.
They have been modified by UK mic experts Xaudia to bring them up to professional BBC standards.....

Back in the 1950s and 60s, the BBC published a number of R&D reports on ribbon microphones

They recommended a number of modifications to the Reslo RB , which included….

• Swapping the transformer to one with higher primary inductance,

• Conversion from 50 ohm to 300 ohm output,

• Fitting a more open interior mesh,

• Removing the cloth around the ribbon motor,

• And reversing the motor assembly so that the ribbon element is at the front.

Xaudia have recreated these mods and added a few more of our own. "The Beeb" has an XLR output, and new 1.8 micrometer ribbon. We also ultrasonically clean these before re-assembly to remove 50 years of gunk. And we put a (removable) sticker on them, so you know that they are 300 ohm mics.

these are great sounding ribbon microphones.
