About This Item

The R-122V is the pinnacle of our R-Series line, a world-class tube ribbon microphone exhibiting unparalleled richness, depth, and detail, particularly in the midrange frequencies. With a lushness that has to be heard to be truly appreciated, the R-122V offers the ultimate in ribbon microphone performance for those who insist on the very best. The R-122V takes the Royer-pioneered concept of active ribbon microphone technology to an unprecedented level by incorporating vacuum tube electronics into the same proven transducer system used in the venerable R-121 and R-122 ribbon microphones. The high operating voltage of the vacuum tube provides headroom far beyond that available from a standard phantom power supply. Sonically this translates into unmwatched clarity, detail, and airiness, along with the ability to handle brute SPL levels without flinching. Features: · Vacuum tube electronics provide high output capacity, optimal impedance to the ribbon element and low output impedance · Extremely low self-noise · Operates from a dedicated power supply · High SPL capabilities for electric guitar and percussion instruments · Absence of high-frequency peaks, ringing and phase shifts · Ribbon element, unaffected by impedance/load, heat or humidity · Very low magnetic leakage · Equal sensitivity from front or back of element · Consistent frequency response regardless of distance · Rear side of mic records slightly brighter when three feet or closer to sound source
