I've answered this one:

5. As passive devices with large surface transducers, the self noise is
probably not significant. However, the low output does emphasize pre
noise. In use, how do ribbons compare to condensers as far as noise
measured at the pre out:?

I have done a little Googling, and learned that self noise is a problem.

Any info on the mechanism that generates it? It is hard to see how it
could be that far above thermal noise given what is in it.
