A lot of interesting pieces here.  I personally love the BK5.

The BK5 is an unusually bright and aggresssive ribbon mic.  Highly recommended for…  pretty much any spot-mic task.  Hands-down better than the Royer R121.  And about 1/2 the price.  Not so reliable tho…  mine has broken twice in as many years.  but good god what a sound.  and the pattern is super-tight.

I have a BK5B in my home studio….I do V.O. work.

It’s great. Can you tell me when? it came out and what the price was? Wasn’t there also a BK5A or is that a figment of my imagination, if so when did that appear?

Love all the RCA Ribbons..I’ve used them over the years in radio & TV

Thanks,

Jerry Gordon
