Sonically similar \nto our R-121, the R-122 exhibits a flat frequency response and a well \nbalanced, panoramic soundfield, but it is 13 dB more sensitive, its \ntransient response is faster and its electronics provide an optimum \nload to the ribbon element at all times. Like the R-121, its ability to \nwithstand high SPL’s makes it ideal for applications that were previ- \nously considered off limits to ribbon microphones.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \nThe R-122’s active electronics produce an output comparable to \nstudio condenser microphones and provide an optimum impedance \nto the ribbon element, preventing overdamping of the ribbon element \nand assuring consistent microphone performance. The high gain and \nlow output impedance of the R-122 allow it to operate with any micro- \nphone preamplifier with phantom power, including those of nominal gain and input \nimpedance characteristics. It is also well suited for use with long cable runs, which \ncan be helpful in live situations. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe R-122 utilizes a low mass, 2.5-micron, pure (99.99%) aluminum ribbon \nelement. The R-122's unique, patented offset-ribbon transducer assembly incorpo- \nrates rare earth Neodymium magnets in a specially designed flux frame, which \nforms a powerful magnetic field while reducing unwanted stray magnetic radiation. \nThe smooth frequency response and phase linearity of the R-122, coupled with its \nsophisticated active electronics system, enable the R-122 to deliver a consistent \nnatural acoustic performance with stunning realism. Frequency response is excel- \nlent regardless of the angle of sound striking the ribbon, and off-axis coloration is \nnegligible. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe R-122’s offset-ribbon design positions the ribbon element toward the front of \nthe microphone body, which allows for high SPL handling on the front (logo) side \nand the option of a slightly brighter response when recording lower SPL sound \nsources on the back side (3 feet and closer; phase reversed in this position). \n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eRecommended Applications\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose and distant miking \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectric and acoustic guitar \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVocals, commercial broadcast, voiceover \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass, horn sections \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrum overheads, kick drum (see manual for position), room miking \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePercussion instruments \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings - solo \u0026amp; sections \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcoustic piano, harp \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive events - recording and sound reinforcement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Royer Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449231863911,"sku":"4592","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/royer_labs_r_122_matte_black_chrome.jpg?v=1787088235","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/royer-labs-r122-single-matte-black-chrome","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
