Like most ribbons, the R-121's pattern is figure-8, its sensitivity is roughly equal to a good dynamic mic, and it exhibits a warm, realistic tone and flat frequency response. But when it came to design time, Royer threw out the molds and took a fresh approach to ribbons using advanced materials and cutting-edge construction techniques. Indeed, the Royer R-121 redefines ribbon microphones: it's a sleek, light, extremely versatile microphone that is easy to use, wonderfully musical, and extremely sturdy.Ready to deploy on your recordings A Royer R-121 ribbon microphone hears things the way your ears hear them. If you've ever heard that incredible guitar, melodic trumpet, sweet flute, or deep kick drum and found that getting that sound to tape or hard drive was impossible, you owe it to yourself to try a Royer ribbon. On playback, you'll notice that the recorded sound is natural and alive, with a panoramic, ambient feel much like what you heard when you were standing in front of the instruments you recorded. A Royer R-121's response is flat and well balanced. The low end is deep and full without getting boomy, mids are well defined and realistic; meanwhile, the high-end response is sweet and natural sounding, and never edgy or sibilant.Need to record at loud levels? No problem! The Royer R-121's maximum SPL rating is >135dB, and it can take that all day long. In practical terms, that means you can put your R-121 directly in front of a souped-up mega-watt Marshall and turn it up to 11 without microphone distortion or damage to the ribbon. We don't recommend trying this with other ribbon mics, but the Royer R-121 can take it without breaking a sweat.Two mics in one At distances of two feet and closer, the back of the Royer R-121 is brighter than the front side. The difference in the sound is somewhat like blending 10% of a condenser mic in with your ribbon mic signal. This can be extremely useful when you record acoustic guitars, vocals, and other sound sources that you may want to hear more top end on.Royer R-121 Features: Royer's flagship ribbon microphone with high SPL capabilities No internal active electronics to overload or produce distortion up to the maximum SPL rating Extremely low residual noise Ribbon element is not affected by heat or humidity Absence of high-frequency phase distortion Equal sensitivity from the front or back of the element Consistent frequency response regardless of distance Field replaceable ribbon transducer SpecificationDetail Microphone Type Ribbon Ribbon Type 2.5-micron Aluminum Mono/Stereo Mono Polar Pattern Figure-8 Frequency Response 30Hz-15kHz Max SPL 135dB (20Hz) Output Impedance 300 ohms Connector XLR Dimensions 6.13" x 1" Weight 0.54 lbs.
