Fostex M-88RP (c. 1989)
Not much is documented about the Fostex M-88RP. What survives comes from a period equipment directory. DB Magazine (July 1989, p.74) lists it among Fostex's ribbon microphones, alongside the M85RP and M77RP. It was a bidirectional ribbon mic with a 40 - 18,000 Hz response, 600-ohm output, XLR connector and black finish. The price was $650.00.
Past that directory entry, the record is thin. No production dates, detailed design information or contemporary reviews have turned up in the materials available.
