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,

Surprised to see the KU-3A in such a late catalog! My favorite RCA ribbon.
