Definition of "offset-ribbon":

Microphones tagged offset-ribbon employ an innovative ribbon motor design, patented by David Royer and Richard Perrotta of Royer Labs. The ribbon, while remaining centered between the pole pieces of the magnet, is displaced toward the front of the microphone. This design provides higher SPL handling capabilities (from the front of the mic) and changes the frequency response between front and back axes.

Some China-manufactured ribbon mics copied this design, but some reports suggest that the manufacturers are reverting to a traditional, non-offset design in order to avoid claims of patent infringement by Royer against US-based “rabadgers” of the imported mics.
