The ribbon sound lending it an air of nostalgia whilst competing with modern condenser designs in terms of frequency response. The virtually non existent noise floor means that, used in conjunction with a good preamp. it is an ideal mic for digital recording. The advent of the condenser microphone helped to make the world forget how good ribbon microphones could be.
