Its ability to withstand 135 dB SPL @ 30 Hz makes it ideal for applications that were previously considered off limits to ribbon microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe R-121 was developed through relatively recent advancements in magnetics, materials and mechanical construction techniques. The ribbon element's smooth frequency response and phase linearity, coupled with sensitivity levels surpassing those of \"classic\" ribbons, make this microphone an ideal choice for digital recording. The R121 delivers a consistent, natural acoustical performance with stunning realism. Widely used on electric guitars, brass instruments and drums, the R-121's figure-8 pattern also conveys superb ambiance and depth when used for room miking applications, orchestral and choral recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe heart of the R 121 is its low mass, 2.5-micron, pure (99.99%) aluminum ribbon element. The R-121’s unique, patented offset-ribbon transducer assembly incorporates rare earth Neodymium magnets in a specially designed flux-frame, which forms a powerful magnetic field while reducing unwanted stray magnetic radiation.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe R-121’s offset-ribbon design positions the ribbon element towards the front of the microphone body, which allows for higher SPL handling on the front (logo) side and the option of a brighter response when recording lower SPL sound sources on the back side (3 feet and closer; phase reversed in this position).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHigh SPL capabilities for electric guitar and percussion No internal active electronics to overload or produce distortion up to maximum SPL rating Extremely low residual noise Ribbon element unaffected by heat or humidity Absence of high frequency peaks, \"ringing\" and phase shifts Equal sensitivity from front or back of element Gold plated XLR contacts\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eClose miking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElectric \u0026amp; acoustic guitar\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDrum overheads, kick drum (see manual for position), room miking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePercussion instruments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrass, horn sections\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrings - solo \u0026amp; sections\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcoustic piano\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVocals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLive events – recording and sound reinforcement\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eGRACE DESIGN M201MK2 HIGH-FIDELITY MIC PREAMP\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe m201mk2 provides a full serving of Grace Design's unique brand of audio performance. It delivers massive headroom, ultra-wide bandwidth and a very open, musical character. The fully balanced signal path has been refined, resulting in incredible dynamic range. A new power supply design provides the lowest noise performance Grace Design have ever achieved. This all means the new m201mk2 will translate a sonic picture of astonishing clarity and detail, which captures the essential character of the music being recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChanges over the previous design find the m201mk2 more essential and a bit more paired down. Grace Design have eliminated the A\/D option as this functionality is now best served buy the current m108 8 channel mic preamp A\/D. They have eliminated the M+S matrix and a few other functions to really focused on making the finest, purist style 2-channel mic preamp we can.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThese refinements also serve to bring the price down to where even more recording engineers can now afford Grace Design flagship mic preamp performance.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe m201mk2 will bring out the very best in your entire microphone collection. Your favorite large diaphragm mics will sound like they were intended, with detail and texture in extra measure. Your humble dynamics mics will come alive with newfound dynamics and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eRibbons mics will perform their best with the exclusive ribbon mic mode, which shifts the gain range up 10 dB while deactivating 48V phantom power, bypassing the decoupling capacitors and optimizing the input impedance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royer Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451008905319,"sku":"211126","price":5093.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/royer-r-121-mp-grace-design-m201mk2_211126_1_f98fea21-ceb7-4fd5-b01a-1bb2cb24f77b.jpg?v=1787095475","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/royer-labs-r-121-matched-pair-and-grace-design-m201mk2-microphone-preamp-bundle","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
