Royer R-122MP - Matched Pair of R-122 Active Ribbon Microphones

Royer R-122MP MkII - Matched Pair of R-122 Active Ribbon Microphones

The Royer R-122 MkII is a phantom powered ribbon microphone with a specially wound toroidal transformer and ultra-low noise FETs.

The active circuitry in the R-122 translates into a higher output than conventional passive ribbon mics with a more open high-end, and tighter, more focused low-end. The transient response is also faster than other ribbons making the R-122 great for drum overheads, acoustic instruments and vocals.

The R-122 MKll’s switchable -15 dB pad is positioned before the microphone’s electronics and, when engaged, eliminates any potential for headroom-related distortion on even the loudest sound sources. Wide open electric guitars are no problem. With the pad in, the R-122 MKll’s output is actually 2 dB lower than our flagship R-121.
