hi,

i have been experimenting with ribbon mic designs for about 9 months now and
i have a 'small amount' of 5u (micron) material (99.1% AL). they are
3 1/2" x 1/2". you can cut them in half to make two ribbons. since they are
not sized, you have to do your own corrugations which is pretty simple to
do, but cutting is a delicate process! as is putting them into their proper
place.

most of the chinese mic's use 6 micron (u) foil and they sound pretty darn
good when the ribbon is set correctly (which is rare!) this material is
thinner so you should get a better response as long as you position it
correctly.

if interested in acquiring some of this material just let me know. i not
have a large amount of it. perhaps 12 -14 strips.
