Royer R-121L - Live Version - Mono Ribbon Microphone

Royer R-121L - Live Version - Mono Ribbon Microphone

The Royer R-121 is a professional ribbon microphone with a figure-8 pattern and an output level comparable to a dynamic mic. It's a warm, realistic tone and flat frequency response. By using advanced materials and a blend of cutting edge and old-school, hand-build construction techniques, the R-121 is an extremely versatile and user friendly ribbon mic that can stand up to the most demanding tasks.

The R-121’s proprietary offset ribbon transducer (Patent # 6,434,252) is the first of its kind, positioning the ribbon element closer to the front (logo) side of the microphone. This arrangement gives the ribbon more room to move within the prime magnetic field while maintaining full frequency response during high SPL recordings. It’s an integral piece of the magic of all Royer R-series microphones.
