Royer SF-2 - Active Ribbon Microphone

The Royer SF-2 is a compact, mono, phantom powered ribbon microphone designed primarily for classical applications and acoustic instruments. The SF-2 features active electronics that make it as sensitive as standard condenser microphones which allowing it to be used effectively with a variety of mic preamps.

The SF-2 has a flat, uniform frequency response with a figure-of-eight polar response, transient response is superb thanks to the 1.8 micron ribbon element. Off-axis coloration is negligible.

Supplied in an aluminium case with shock mount and mic sock.
