The R-12 exhibits a flat frequency response and a well-balanced sound field, while at the same time handling sound pressure levels of \u0026gt;160 dB @1 kHz. A switchable pad and switchable high-pass filter are included for extended versatility. The R-12 delivers outstanding performance on electric and acoustic stringed instruments, vocals, brass, pianos and organs, as well as drums and percussion instruments at an easily affordable price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe included Sling-Shock is designed to fit the R-12's larger body. A radical departure from traditional shock mount designs, the Sling-Shock utilizes a two-part mechanism consisting of non-resonant nylon cord and damped tensioning springs. This highly effective vibration-damping system improves the performance of ribbon, condenser and dynamic microphones wherever vibration is a concern, reducing rumble and thumps while holding the microphone securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eCONDENSER-LIKE PERFORMANCE IN A RIBBON MIC\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-12’s -15 dB pad is positioned before any other electronics, giving the microphone 15 dB more headroom for high SPL applications. The high-pass filter is configured to reduce proximity effect for close miking and vocal applications, effectively filtering rumble. The R-12’s active electronics produce an output level comparable to studio condenser microphones while providing an optimum impedance to the ribbon element, preventing overdamping of the ribbon and assuring consistent microphone performance. The high gain and low output impedance of the R-12 allow it to operate with any microphone preamplifier with phantom power, and also allows for use with long cable runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eROYER LABS PIONEERED ENHANCEMENTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-12 incorporates Royer Labs' pioneered multi-layered wind screen system and an internally shock-mounted ribbon transducer. The layered wind screen provides superior protection from air blasts and plosives, helping to control vocal pops and reducing proximity effect on singers, close-miked guitar cabinets and acoustic instruments. The R-12’s internally shock-mounted ribbon transducer assembly isolates the ribbon element from shocks and vibrations and increases ribbon durability. The R-12 utilizes Royer’s patented offset-ribbon technology and low mass, 2.5-micron (99.9% pure) aluminum ribbon element. A custom designed impedance matching transformer minimizes saturation and the open grill configuration minimizes standing waves and associated comb-filtering effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eROYER LABS R-12 ACTIVE RIBBON MICROPHONE AND RSM-SS24 SLING-SHOCK BUNDLE FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eR-12\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRibbon microphone with active electronics providing high output capability, optimal impedance to the ribbon element, extremely low self-noise, and low output impedance\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e-15 dB pad and high-pass filter provide flexibility and increased headroom\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHigh SPL capability for electric guitar, brass and other close miking applications\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-layered wind screen provides superior protection to ribbon element during vocal recordings and live use\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eInternally shock-mounted ribbon transducer gives increased durability\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRibbon element not affected by heat or humidity\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRSM-SS24\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRevolutionary “Sling-Shock” suspension system using non-resonant nylon cord and damped tensioning springs instead of elastic bands or rubber bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior isolation from vibration, shock, rumble, and handling noise\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates shock-mount self-resonance during high-SPL applications like close-miked guitar amps\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eNo rubberized parts or elastic cords to stretch, dry out, or fail over time\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable microphone clutch\/grip with felt-lined interior to securely hold microphones without scratching the finish\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in microphone cable clip to reduce cable-transmitted vibrations\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible positioning design for easier mic placement\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Royer Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451394125927,"sku":"512780","price":1298.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/royer-r-12-rsm-ss24_512780_1.jpg?v=1787097072","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/royer-labs-r-12-active-ribbon-microphone-and-rsm-ss24-sling-shock-bundle","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
