Royer Labs - R-122 MKII Active Ribbon Microphone

The R-122 MKII ribbon microphone continues in the lineage of our original R-122, the world's first phantom-powered active ribbon™ microphone. It delivers all of the warm, natural tone of our R-121, but with 13 dB more output, a switchable -15 dB pad, a switchable bass cut, and impedance matching circuitry that makes it compatible with virtually any mic preamplifier.
