BM9 – a true figure 8 ribbon microphone

BM9 - a true figure 8 ribbon microphone

Iwan Jenkins uses his BM9 for voiceover work in Canada and has one of the greatest voices known to man. He asked the sensible question, “…is there a difference in sound between the front and the back?”.As the BM9 is true figure 8, the sound is the same front and back. But of course the rear is reverse polarity, so you need to flip the phase switch on your recording preamp or inside the digital realm.
