Ribbon vs. Condenser on Trombone. Most popular mic types. Which do you like better?

[@Pot3861]

Ribbon sounds better

I Was about to say the same. It has a more clear sound, closer to the original I think (I’m not a trombone player)

[@Re-bl5sr]

With my eyes closed the difference is very slight in the sense that the ribbon sounds minutely brighter. Its as if its letting in more high-mid to high frequencies. An EQ would confirm, however the fact one might even need or consider one is testement to how little the difference actually is. Nice playing by the way; beautiful instrument. What make is it?

Definitely. My favorite is the Condenser. I’ve been using it on everything in the last few months. The horn is a Silver Plated Yamaha 695.
