Product Description
ROYER LABS SF-12 RIBBON MICROPHONE
The Royer SF-12 stereo coincident ribbon microphone combines high quality audio performance with outstanding stereo separation and imaging. It is a modern ribbon design with no audible diffraction effects or cavity resonance. An SF-12 is actually two matched ribbon microphones placed one above the other; each aimed 45 degrees from center in the classic Blumlein configuration. The frequency response is excellent regardless of the angle of sound striking the ribbons and off-axis coloration is negligible.
The SF-12 utilizes two 1.8-micron ribbons, each weighing approximately 1/3 milligram and producing superb transient response. The two ribbon transducers are magnet/pole piece structures that produce a wide, uniform frequency response with no substantial peaks or dips. The case is ingot iron and forms part of the magnetic return circuit, an effective system with low leakage flux which accounts for the relatively high sensitivity in a trim package. The SF-12's extension cable comes with a Y adapter that splits into separate 3-pin male XLR connectors labeled "Upper" and "Lower," for the upper and lower capsules of the microphone (when held vertically).

GRACE DESIGN M201MK2 HIGH-FIDELITY MIC PREAMP
The 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.
Changes 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.
These refinements also serve to bring the price down to where even more recording engineers can now afford Grace Design flagship mic preamp performance.
The 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.
Ribbons 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.
FEATURES:
- Improved headroom
- Ultra-wide bandwidth
- Open and musical character
- Brings out the best performance from microphones
- Optimized impedance
