Product information "Royer Labs R12 Matched Pair"
Designed to deliver exceptional performance in both studio recording and live sound environments, the Royer Labs R-12 Active Ribbon Microphone Matched Pair features a figure-8 pickup pattern and active circuitry that provides high output with remarkably low noise. Perfect for acoustic and amplified instruments such as guitars, pianos, brass, and drums, the R-12 pair captures sound with warmth, depth, and natural detail.
Each R-12 employs the same renowned 2.5-micron ribbon element found in the legendary R-121, allowing it to handle up to 160 dB SPL when the onboard -15 dB pad is engaged—offering ample headroom even for the loudest sources. The switchable 100 Hz high-pass filter effectively minimizes low-frequency build-up caused by the proximity effect, making it ideal for close-miking applications. Internally shock-mounted ribbon elements reduce handling noise, while the integrated triple-layer metal windscreen protects against plosives. Supplied as a precisely matched pair, the R-12 set includes mic holders, mic socks, and a robust carrying case for secure transport and storage.
