[QUOTE="ghostinthemachine, post: 443169, member: 760"] Yes, the ribbon can be tuned but extremely carefully. They were restored to original spec and thus supposed to be not far off the "stock" sound. The 4038 is one of the finest ribbon microphones ever to be created. The ribbon was cut by hand with a scalpel and corrugated with a special method (no, not just simply rolled between gears, took a bit of thinking outside the box to get this one right). Yes and no. Your Kelly tweeters will require a slighty thicker aluminum ribbon as this 0.6 micron will sag and tear in the wink of an eye. Bit of both but unfortunately they do not belong to me. [/QUOTE]
