Further Reading:
The Xaudia Beeb are fully refurbished Reslo RB mics that have been converted to BBC specs.
In the BBC’s R&D report of 1961, several modifications were recommended for the Reslo RBs, including…
- Swapping the transformer to one with higher primary inductance
- Conversion from 50 ohm to 300 ohm output
- Reversing the motor assembly so that the ribbon element is at the front
‘The Beeb’ microphones come with new 1.8 micrometer ribbons, new Xaudia 300 ohm transformer and reversed motor, along with a modern XLR and improved grounding to reduce hum.
