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\"\u003eDBOOSTER2\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Royer Labs dBooster2 In-Line Signal Booster and DI features two channels of dBooster ribbon and dynamic microphone signal boosting and impedance buffering technology. Each channel also doubles as a high-impedance DI.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen used as a signal booster, both channels of the dBooster2 increase the level of passive low-output ribbon and dynamic microphones with a minimum of distortion or coloration. Designed for professional applications, each dBooster2 channel offers two levels of clean gain boost: 12 dB or 20 dB, selectable by a front panel switch.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe dBooster2’s Class A input presents a high source impedance to microphones, minimizing loading (damping) and improving headroom. By utilizing the 12\/20 dB gain switch, optimum balance between gain and headroom can be achieved for a variety of uses.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe dBooster2’s low-impedance output 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\u003eWhen used as a DI for unbalanced guitar level sources, the dBooster2 provides either 0 dB or 8 dB of gain, selectable from the front panel switch. The single ended high-impedance (230K-Ohm) DI input maintains headroom and gain regardless of load, with minimal distortion or coloration.\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 \u003cli\u003eDI for direct electric guitar, electric bass, and other instruments\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 in Mic mode\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e0 dB or 8 dB gain in Hi-Z guitar input mode\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh input impedance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBalanced Low 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\u003eGain: switchable 12 dB or 20 dB in Mic mode,; switchable 0 dB or 8 dB in DI mode\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTHD+N: @20 dB Gain = .0015%, -25 dBu input signal, 1.3Vp-p output signal; @12 dB Gain = .001%, -6 dBu input signal, 3.66Vp-p output signal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIM Distortion: @20 dB setting, \u0026lt;0.002% @ 800 mV output; @12 dB setting, \u0026lt;0.005% @ 2.6volts output\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSelf-noise: referred to -48 dB re. 1V\/Pa, 20 dB setting \u0026lt;11 dBa, 12 dB setting \u0026lt;15 dBa\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeadroom: referred to -48 dB re. 1V\/Pa and 4mV\/Pa, 20 dB setting: 127 dB; 12 dB setting: 120 dB\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBENEFITS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\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":44450891202663,"sku":"184934","price":1598.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/royer-r-10-pair-dbooster2_184934_1_50ac865e-37f7-4bfb-9612-bc6955e93f97.jpg?v=1787094982","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/royer-r-10-matched-pair-and-dbooster2-bundle","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
