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 M101 MICROPHONE PREAMP\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMaintaining Grace Design pedigree throughout, the m101 employs Grace Design's balanced, transformerless, transimpedance circuit topology. With incredible bandwidth and headroom, the m101 is natural, musical and detailed, allowing engineers and musicians to consistently record vibrant, amazing tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe m101 is equipped with universal switching power supply, which is dead quiet and accepts input voltages from 100 to 240VAC. The front panel is a tough black anodized \/ laser etched black, which ensures legibility and usability in varying light conditions. And all preamp functions have a dedicated indicator LED, including the 48V phantom power and HPF switch.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBuilt in as standard is Grace Design's unique Ribbon Mic Mode, which bypasses the input decoupling capacitors, raises the input impedance from 8.1kΩ to 20kΩ, and defeats the 48V phantom power, preventing damage to delicate ribbon mic elements. Ribbon mics, you’re welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royer Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451008938087,"sku":"211123","price":2332.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/royer-r-121-grace-design-m101_211123_1_aff45d23-a4c2-4091-ab0b-0c708785776e.jpg?v=1787095475","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/royer-labs-r-121-ribbon-microphone-and-grace-design-m101-microphone-preamp-bundle","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
