With it’s flat frequency response, well balanced sound field as well as it’s compact size and mounting configuration, the R-10 is a great fit in any studio or live application.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePlosives aren't a problem with the R-10, Royer Labs has developed a multi-layered wind screen that provides superior protection from air blasts. The wind screen also helps reduce proximity effect which helps close miking guitar cabinets and acoustic instruments without the muddy build-up in the low end. The open grill configuration minimizes standing waves and associated comb-filtering effects.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe ribbon transducer has a newly designed internal shock mount which isolates the ribbon from shocks and vibrations. This new feature adds a rugged quality to the microphone and greatly increases the ribbons durability.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe R-10 is a perfect match for electric guitars, brass instruments, acoustic instruments, drums, and room miking. It’s figure-8 response captures a smooth representation of the direct source as well as natural ambience of the room.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWith the ability to handle such high SPL, you can have the R-10 right over a drum set or next to a screaming electric guitar cabinet and not have to worry about any extra distortion or damaging the ribbon.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe R-10 has a patented offset-ribbon design which positions the ribbon towards the front of the transducer allowing higher SPL levels to be achieved on the front side of the microphone. The rear side of the microphone offers a brighter frequency response on lower SPL sound sources.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eClose miking in the studio and on live stages\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElectric \u0026amp; acoustic guitars\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDrum overheads, kick drum (see manual for position),\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eroom 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 \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eDBOOSTER\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Royer dBooster is a phantom-powered ribbon and dynamic microphone signal booster and impedance buffer. It increases the level of passive low-output ribbon and dynamic microphones with a minimum of distortion or coloration. Designed for professional applications, the dBooster provides two levels of clean gain boost; 12 dB and 20 dB, selectable by a front panel switch. The dBooster maintains headroom and gain regardless of load. The Class A input circuitry presents a high source impedance to the microphone, which minimizes loading (damping). This reduces coloration and distortion while at the same time improving headroom. By utilizing the 12\/20 dB gain switch, optimum balance between gain and headroom can be achieved for a variety of uses. The low-impedance output of the dBooster is an increased microphone-level signal that can drive a digital interface directly or a standard microphone preamplifier. It also minimizes signal loss on long cable runs.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMiking any low-volume sound source (acoustic instruments, vocals, etc.)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecording direct to a DAW interface\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse on long cable runs to retain sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e12 dB and 20 dB gain stages\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh input impedance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLow output impedance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRugged case construction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUltra-low noise performance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUltra-low distortion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWide frequency bandwidth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSafe for use on all ribbon mics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncreases headroom at the preamp\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides true electrical isolation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProtects ribbon mics from phantom-power\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMinimizes mic loading\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCapable of driving difficult loads, such as mic splitters and vintage style preamps, without increased distortion or loss of gain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Royer Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450891235431,"sku":"184933","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/royer-r-10-dbooster_184933_1.jpg?v=1787094983","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/royer-r-10-and-dbooster-bundle","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
