The studio R-121 is tough and has been used on the road for years, but the increased durability of the R-121 Live gives FOH engineers greater confidence in the ribbon standing up to the rigors of the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-121 Live’s output level is comparable to a dynamic mic, and it delivers the warm, realistic tone that only a ribbon mic can. Along with its smooth, natural response, the R-121 Live virtually eliminates the shrill high-end often associated with live guitars and brass. Push up the faders and there’s the instrument in all its fullness and natural glory, minus the peaky highs that FOH and Monitor engineers spend so much of their careers fighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-121 Live is visually differentiated by its red logo. The ribbon element thickness is increased from 2.5 microns to 4-microns, giving the microphone greater durability and a slightly reduced high end response. Highs are often rolled off in live performances, but due to the R-121 Live’s exceptionally smooth high frequency response, it needs far less eq’ing than is usually required with condenser and dynamic microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-121 Live is backed with Royer’s lifetime warranty to the original owner, and the first re-ribbon is free. Royer expect it to work as hard as you do, so they stand behind it the whole way. As with any high end microphone, proper storage during transit and careful handling during setup and breakdown is key to keeping the microphone in good working order.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eFIGURE-8 ON STAGE\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-121 Live’s pickup pattern is figure-8, which can be used to control stage bleed with great effect. Side rejection in the null points is strong – position the mics “ears” to face the offending instrument(s) and bleed will be virtually eliminated. The top and bottom of the microphone are also null points. If monitors are in close proximity to the rear side of the microphone, a positioning adjustment can place the monitors output in the mic’s null, isolating the monitor from the mic’s pickup areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003ePATENTED OFFSET RIBBON TECHNOLOGY\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-121 Live’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 on high SPL applications. It’s an integral piece of the magic of all Royer R-series microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eTHE SOUND\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-121 accurately reproduces what you hear at the sound source. Most microphones add their own characteristics – they all serve a purpose and have their place on stage. But if your goal is to capture something the way it really sounds – that ripping electric guitar, that wailing trumpet, that full kit – and you’ve found that reproducing that sound was next to impossible, put up some Royer Live Series mics and get ready. The R-121’s response is flat and well balanced, with a deep, non-boomy low end, well defined and realistic mids, and a smooth and natural sounding high end response that’s never edgy or sibilant.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it’s time to mix the band, push up the faders and you’ll see why FOH engineers love their R-121’s on electric guitars and brass. When the instruments sound real, fitting them into the live mix is a breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eLOUD GUITARS!\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eYour guitarist likes insane levels? No problem! The R-121 Live’s maximum SPL rating is 135 dB at 20 Hz and it can handle that all day, every day. In practical terms, that means you can put your R-121 in front of a souped up 100-watt Marshall and open it up without microphone distortion or damage to the ribbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eLIVE APPLICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eElectric Guitar Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBrass Instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHorn Sections\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePercussion Instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Royer Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449231732839,"sku":"10988","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/royer-r-121-live_10988_1.jpg?v=1787088235"},{"product_id":"royer-labs-r122-matched-pair","title":"Royer Labs R-122 - Matched Pair","description":"The \u003cb\u003eRoyer R-122\u003c\/b\u003e is a compact, monaural, phantom powered ribbon \nmicrophone - the first ribbon microphone of its kind.

Frequency response is excellent regardless of the angle of sound striking the ribbons and off-axis coloration is negligible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eTHE ELECTRONICS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SF-24V’s twin head amplifiers consist of low-noise, triode-connected military grade 5840 vacuum tubes. Designed for a wide range of applications, the SF-24V delivers -38 dB output and the drive capabilities only vacuum tube head amplifiers can provide. The circuits are devoid of typical vacuum tube coloration. The SF-24V’s triode-configured cathode follower circuitry enables the microphone to drive long cable runs without sonic degradation or high-frequency loss. This capability is further enhanced by the SF-24V’s dedicated power supply, which provides ample current to the vacuum tube electronics. Induced noise is virtually eliminated by the microphone’s fully balanced outputs, which are electrically isolated with special purpose Jensen output transformers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SF-24V has far more level than non-powered ribbon microphones and its impedance matching circuitry places a perfect load on the ribbon element at all times. This allows the use of a wide variety of mic preamps without concern for gain and impedance matches, two critical issues with ribbon microphones. In addition, the microphone’s electronics shield the ribbon elements from any possibility of damage by phantom power, electrical glitches or miswired cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eRECORDING\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SF-24V excels on full orchestra, choir and ensembles, classical piano, drum overheads, virtually all acoustic instruments, small vocal groups, a wide variety of percussion instruments, as a room mic, etc. Like the SF-12, the SF-24V is uncanny for creating “you-are-there” stereo recordings that capture not only the instrument(s) being recorded, but, depending on how the microphone is positioned, varying degrees of the acoustical space. In addition, the increased sensitivity and impedance matching circuitry allows for more consistent results in a variety of recording situations and with a wider selection of mic pre’s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royer Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449232027751,"sku":"14041","price":6999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/royer-labs-sf24v-mic_14041_1.jpg?v=1792522051"},{"product_id":"royer-labs-r-101","title":"Royer Labs R-101","description":"The \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRoyer R-101\u003c\/span\u003e is a new breed \r\nof modern ribbon microphone, designed for studio work and demanding live\r\n applications (particularly live electric guitar and brass).

The RSM-1 also works well with any cylindrical microphone with a one-inch diameter barrel. The standard shock mount for all Royer Labs microphones has been the AT-84.

Discriminating clients have asked us for a new shock mount for years, and in some cases they have devised their own shocks. The RSM1 is an attractive shock mount that provides upgraded performance for all Royer mics. Isolation of the microphone from shock and vibration is excellent, microphone \"lean\" is non-existent, making mic positioning more reliable, and the microphone cannot be pulled out of the shock from the cable side, which helps prevent an accidental trip to the floor.

We did away with the large, heavy, fragile \"classic\" approach to ribbon microphones and went in a completely new direction.

Unique electronics package gives the R-122 greater output than standard, non-powered ribbons, and places a perfect impedance load on the ribbon element, greatly expanding the number of preamps the mic operates well with. The MKII also features a switchable 12db pad and high-pass filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the R-122, all ribbon microphones were passive devices. Tracking strings, acoustic guitars, vocals and other quieter sound sources required pre's with a lot of gain and a high input impedance. With the R-122, gain and impedance issues are a thing of the past, letting you use more pre's with great results.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGain\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eConventional ribbon microphones need high-quality, high-gain microphone preamplifiers to record softer sound sources. The R-122 is as sensitive as a condenser microphone, allowing you to use practically any mic preamplifier or board pre's to record even the quietest sounds. The R-122 contains a fully balanced, discrete head amplifier system utilizing a specially wound toroidal transformer and ultra-low noise FET's. This system is extremely quiet, can handle 135 dB SPL, and brings the R-122's sensitivity to 37 dB! Go ahead and plug an R-122 into any preamp with average gain - you'll get full Royer performance and enough level to drive any recording medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-122's higher sensitivity does not create additional self-noise. All of the R-122's increased sensitivity comes from its large, specially wound toroidal transformer - that wonderful thing called \"free gain.\" The phantom powered circuitry provides impedance conversion only, adding no noise of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eImpedance Matching\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-122's active electronics put a perfect load on the ribbon element at all times, allowing the R-122 to deliver 100% of its full sonic potential regardless of the input characteristics of the following mic pre. Due to its low-impedance output, R-122's can be used on extremely long cable runs with minimal signal loss. In addition, the ribbon element can't be damaged by phantom power, miswired cables or electrical glitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003ePatented Offset Ribbon Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-122'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.
