Microphone History:
The Reslosound SR1 Studio microphone, which was a big brother to the RB models, and was Reslosound's top of the range ribbon microphone. They are nice sounding figure-8 ribbon microphones, and are very much less common than the RBs. They have become quite desirable amongst collectors and studio engineers.
Technical Description:
In comparison with the more common Reslo RB model, the SR1 has increased sensitivity owing to its use of a longer ribbon and extra magnet. The SR1 is about 1/3 as long again compared with the more common RB. Advertising for the SR1 claimed 30Hz to 20kHz - although doesn't qualify that with a dB range. Inside the microphone, fibreglass stuffing is used to protects the ribbon and damp ringing of the shell. This muffles the sound a little too. The SR1 was available in both 30/50 ohm and 250 ohm versions, and used the same laminations and bobbin as the later RB transformers, but with a more sophisticated winding configuration. The SR1 transformer has a 5-winding construction, with two primary windings alternating between three secondary windings.
