Abstract: An improved ribbon microphone preferably includes a housing tube and a microphone assembly. The microphone assembly includes a ribbon transducer, a reflector bar, a first magnet, a second magnet, a upper ribbon retainer and a lower ribbon retainer. The housing tube includes at least one audio aperture. The ribbon transducer includes a thin strip of metal with an embossed non-linear pattern formed therein. The lower ribbon retainer is the same as upper ribbon retainer, but turned upside down. The ribbon retainer includes a retainer base and a ribbon clamp. The retainer base includes a clamp slot to receive the ribbon clamp. Each end of the ribbon transducer is retained between the ribbon clamp and the retainer base. Opposing ends of magnets and reflector bar are retained in the upper and lower ribbon retainer. An upper end cap and a lower end cap capture the microphone assembly within the housing tube.
