Yes, ribbon mics can handle high sound pressure levels (SPL) with ease, usually 130 dB and above, making them great for recording loud sources like drums and guitar amps. However, it's important to note that different ribbon microphones have different maximum SPL levels, so it's best to check the specifications of the specific model you're considering before using it with extremely loud sources. Additionally, use a pop filter if you are using a ribbon mic for vocals as plosives can potentially damage the ribbon element.
