Pip said:All ribbons with time stretch out or more correctly loose there tension. They are corrugated usually and those pleats eventually open with time.
Pip said:If you are building a new microphone and looking for answers as to how to tension a ribbon for the right voicing.
Pip said:Well that is mic specific and should be handled by the people who do that all the time. They have special machines that tension the ribbon material (usually high purity aluminum foil). In the USA there are two very reputable ribbon repair people. Clarence Kain at ENAK Corp and Stephen Sank.
