Description

The R-122V ribbon microphone is the world's first vacuum tube ribbon microphone. Originally developed in 2001 as a benchmark for testing R-122 designs against, the unique R-122V has evolved into a world class ribbon microphone with amazing depth and reach in the midrange frequencies and a lush-ness you'll need to hear for yourself to believe.

Vacuum Tube Mono Ribbon - Large Ribbon Element (2.5-micron), Nickel Finish

Features:

  • Vacuum tube electronics provide high output capability, optimal impedance to the ribbon element and low output impedance
  • Extremely low self-noise
  • Operates from a dedicated power supply

  • Absence of high-frequency peaks, "ringing" and phase shifts
  • Ribbon element unaffected by impedance/load, heat or humidity
  • Very low magnetic leakage
  • Equal sensitivity from front or back of element
  • Consistent frequency response regardless of distance
  • Rear side of mic records slightly brighter when three feet or closer to sound source

Applications:

  • Orchestral miking, close and distant
  • Strings - solo & sections
