New Ribbon microphone from Marik!

[Marik]

Thank you Mulletchuck for stopping by my booth (sorry, I was not able to spend more time chatting during the show), and Ptownkid for good words!

Jeez! I did not pay attention the pics were huge! I resized them for better fit.

Will get and post more sound clips with different sources soon.

Best, M

Today first serious review of the mic was posted on recordinghacks:

Detailed review.  Certainly like to hear these someday.

A friend of mine in New York bought a pair and has nothing but great things to say and his mic cupboard is not shabby.  Congrats Marik, if and when I get back to tracking I'll be checking these out.

Well done Marik. I am certainly looking forward to getting my hands on one.

Cannot help but notice we have a nice surrounding:

And I should add that the SAMAR MF65 is a very nice microphone.

The build quality is excellent, and the top end response and detail is far beyond what one would expect to hear from a ribbon microphone. In fact it is hard to believe you are hearing a ribbon mic.

I just had mine up against a good RCA 77DX, and Marik's little mic was by far the better mic.

I would love to have one.  I don't doubt it's superior.

Mark,

Do you happen to have a demo set floating around the States?  I have an upcoming project where I may have the budget to buy a stereo pair of Ribbons for drum overheads and these are in the running (although at the top end of what's possible).  I'm in L.A.

Cheers,
Ruairi

Thank you Zebra! That kind of compliment means a lot when it is coming from a ribbon mic Master!

Hey Doug,

With new distribution the prices will go up effective on May 1st. If you'd like to secure it, please contact me privately.

Ruairi,

Dang! I wish you told me just a couple days ago--the demo pair left LA this Thursday--you could just easily pick it up...
Please email me to mark(at)samaraudiodesign(dot)com and we will arrange something.
