Description
The Royer Labs R-122 MKII redefines ribbon microphone performance as the world’s first phantom-powered active ribbon mic. Combining the warmth of classic ribbon sound with the output and sensitivity of a condenser, the R-122 MKII delivers pristine detail with minimal preamp gain — even on delicate sources like strings, vocals, and acoustic instruments.
Equipped with a switchable 12 dB pad for added headroom and a high-pass filter to tame bass below 100 Hz, this mic adapts seamlessly to demanding studio and stage environments. Its fully balanced, discrete head amplifier features a custom-wound toroidal transformer and ultra-low noise FETs, ensuring exceptionally quiet operation and consistent high output.
Royer’s proprietary offset ribbon technology enhances frequency response, improves SPL handling, and safeguards the ribbon element from electrical variations. From intimate acoustic performances to roaring guitar amps and full orchestral arrangements, the R-122 MKII delivers the clarity, depth, and accuracy professionals demand.
