In reply to Shawna. Very interested myself, but in Europe Xaudia does check-ups and reselling.

I have two M77RP mics I bought in the early 90’s from an audio shop in Utah, which special ordered them. I have used them to record music (drums, singing and spoken vocals, instruments like acoustic guitar, flute, sax and didgeridoo) as well as field recording. I am still using them, and have not encountered another make of microphone that would prompt me to switch.

I’ve also been a fan of the Fostex mics ever since I bought the M22RP MS mic on sale at Leo’s in Oakland c. 1985. I went on to collect most of the RP series, and loaned many of them to Stan Coutant to add to his wonderful microphone website at coutant.org.

Here’s a heads-up. I’m currently in the process of selling off my mic and studio inventory, mostly on e-bay. I plan to list the Fostex mics as a collection, selling the five I have, housed in a Fostex branded demo suitcase, as a single unit. These five include the M11RP, M22RP, M80RP, M85RP and M88PR. I also bought the M77RP at one time, but can’t seem to put my hands on it right now.

Nice to know there are others who appreciate the Fostex mics.

Stan Coutant’s site recently put up a very cool old Fostex tech report on the printed ribbon series that goes way in depth on the construction of these things.

We had access to an M88rp in college that I fell in love with, in part because it sounded so great on a guitar cab and also for its odd, illusive history. I’ve been meaning to catch one on ebay ever since but they make very seldom appearances, and in the rare occasion that they do turn up (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Old-Fostex-M88RP-Printed-Ribbon-Microphone-/310762267812?pt=US_Pro_Audio_Microphones&hash=item485adfe4a4) they’re always well outside my heavily indebted college grad budget…
