The studio R-121 is tough and has been used on the road for years, but the increased durability of the R-121 Live gives FOH engineers greater confidence in the ribbon standing up to the rigors of the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-121 Live’s output level is comparable to a dynamic mic, and it delivers the warm, realistic tone that only a ribbon mic can. Along with its smooth, natural response, the R-121 Live virtually eliminates the shrill high-end often associated with live guitars and brass. Push up the faders and there’s the instrument in all its fullness and natural glory, minus the peaky highs that FOH and Monitor engineers spend so much of their careers fighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-121 Live is visually differentiated by its red logo. The ribbon element thickness is increased from 2.5 microns to 4-microns, giving the microphone greater durability and a slightly reduced high end response. Highs are often rolled off in live performances, but due to the R-121 Live’s exceptionally smooth high frequency response, it needs far less eq’ing than is usually required with condenser and dynamic microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-121 Live is backed with Royer’s lifetime warranty to the original owner, and the first re-ribbon is free. Royer expect it to work as hard as you do, so they stand behind it the whole way. As with any high end microphone, proper storage during transit and careful handling during setup and breakdown is key to keeping the microphone in good working order.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eFIGURE-8 ON STAGE\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-121 Live’s pickup pattern is figure-8, which can be used to control stage bleed with great effect. Side rejection in the null points is strong – position the mics “ears” to face the offending instrument(s) and bleed will be virtually eliminated. The top and bottom of the microphone are also null points. If monitors are in close proximity to the rear side of the microphone, a positioning adjustment can place the monitors output in the mic’s null, isolating the monitor from the mic’s pickup areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003ePATENTED OFFSET RIBBON TECHNOLOGY\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-121 Live’s proprietary offset ribbon transducer (Patent #6,434,252) is the first of its kind, positioning the ribbon element closer to the front (logo) side of the microphone. This arrangement gives the ribbon more room to move within the prime magnetic field while maintaining full frequency response on high SPL applications. It’s an integral piece of the magic of all Royer R-series microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eTHE SOUND\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-121 accurately reproduces what you hear at the sound source. Most microphones add their own characteristics – they all serve a purpose and have their place on stage. But if your goal is to capture something the way it really sounds – that ripping electric guitar, that wailing trumpet, that full kit – and you’ve found that reproducing that sound was next to impossible, put up some Royer Live Series mics and get ready. The R-121’s response is flat and well balanced, with a deep, non-boomy low end, well defined and realistic mids, and a smooth and natural sounding high end response that’s never edgy or sibilant.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it’s time to mix the band, push up the faders and you’ll see why FOH engineers love their R-121’s on electric guitars and brass. When the instruments sound real, fitting them into the live mix is a breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eLOUD GUITARS!\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eYour guitarist likes insane levels? No problem! The R-121 Live’s maximum SPL rating is 135 dB at 20 Hz and it can handle that all day, every day. In practical terms, that means you can put your R-121 in front of a souped up 100-watt Marshall and open it up without microphone distortion or damage to the ribbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eLIVE APPLICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eElectric Guitar Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBrass Instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHorn Sections\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePercussion Instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Royer Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449231732839,"sku":"10988","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/royer-r-121-live_10988_1.jpg?v=1787088235"},{"product_id":"royer-labs-r122-matched-pair","title":"Royer Labs R-122 - Matched Pair","description":"The \u003cb\u003eRoyer R-122\u003c\/b\u003e is a compact, monaural, phantom powered ribbon \nmicrophone - the first ribbon microphone of its kind.

Conventional ribbon microphones average 15 to 20 dB lower sensitivity than condenser mics, necessitating the use of high-quality, high-gain microphone preamplifiers for recording softer sound sources like acoustic instruments, vocals and room ambiance. The SF-24 contains two fully balanced, discrete head amplifier systems utilizing ultra-low noise FET's, each delivering a sensitivity of -38 dB. This lets you mate an SF-24 to any preamplifier with average gain characteristics.

The frequency response is excellent regardless of the angle of sound striking the ribbons and off-axis coloration is negligible.","brand":"Royer Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449540636775,"sku":"32646","price":1795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_royer_sf_12__1669_cat_1_1_851f1aab-5168-49a7-b8a6-af0612e659e5.jpg?v=1787089379"},{"product_id":"royer-labs-r-121-3158-used","title":"Royer Labs R-121 #3158 (Used)","description":"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Applications\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eClose miking \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectric \u0026amp; acoustic guitar \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrum overheads, kick drum (see manual for position), room miking \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePercussion instruments \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass, horn sections \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings - solo \u0026amp; sections \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcoustic piano \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVocals \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive events – recording and sound reinforcementActual size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cb\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Acoustic Operating Principle: Electrodynamic pressure gradient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Polar Pattern: Figure-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Generating Element: 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Magnets: Rare Earth Neodymium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Frequency Response: 30 -15,000 Hz +\/- 3dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sensitivity: -50 dBv Re. 1v\/pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Output Impedance: 300 Ohms @ 1K (nominal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rated Load Impedance: \u0026gt;1500 Ohms @ 300 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Maximum SPL: \u0026gt;135dB @ 20 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Output Connector: Male XLR 3 pin (Pin 2 Hot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dimensions: 58mm L, 25mm W (6.13\" L, 1\" W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Weight: 244g (8.6 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003eReleased in 1998, the award-winning R-121 is our flagship microphone; the world's first radically re-engineered ribbon microphone and the model that reintroduced ribbon mics to engineers around the world. We did away with the large, heavy, fragile \"classic\" approach to ribbon microphones and went in a completely new direction. The R-121 gives all of the warmth and natural sound that experienced engineers have long turned to ribbon mics for, but in a compact, light-weight, high output and tough-as-nails package that was unheard of in a ribbon mic before the R-121.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe R-121's proprietary offset ribbon transducer (Patent # 6,434,252) is the first of its kind, positioning the ribbon element closer to the front (logo) side of the microphone. This arrangement gives the ribbon more room to move within the prime magnetic field while maintaining full frequency response during high SPL recordings. It's an integral piece of the magic of all Royer R-series microphones.","brand":"Royer Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449555054695,"sku":"33541","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_royer_labs_r-121__3158_cat_610b43fd-d9f4-4cae-9bac-1c54fda8cd68.jpg?v=1787089438"},{"product_id":"royer-labs-r-121-platinum-plated","title":"Royer Labs R-121 Platinum Plated","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the Recording Academy awarded the 2013 Technical Grammy to Royer Labs, they stated that Royer Labs “…single-handedly brought ribbon microphones into mainstream recording.” The R-121 Platinum Edition microphone commemorates their Grammy Award and the resurgence of the ribbon microphone in modern recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unique \u003cstrong\u003eR-121\u003c\/strong\u003e is plated in pure platinum to mirror the finish on the Technical Grammy, and each microphone ships with a certificate of authenticity personally signed by David Royer.

The R-121 gives all of the warmth and natural sound that experienced engineers have long turned to ribbon mics for, but in a compact, light-weight, high output and tough-as-nails package that was unheard of in a ribbon mic before the R-121.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe R-121's proprietary offset ribbon transducer (Patent # 6,434,252) is the first of its kind, positioning the ribbon element closer to the front (logo) side of the microphone.

Unique electronics package gives the R-122 greater output than standard, non-powered ribbons, and places a perfect impedance load on the ribbon element, greatly expanding the number of preamps the mic operates well with. The MKII also features a switchable 12db pad and high-pass filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the R-122, all ribbon microphones were passive devices. Tracking strings, acoustic guitars, vocals and other quieter sound sources required pre's with a lot of gain and a high input impedance. With the R-122, gain and impedance issues are a thing of the past, letting you use more pre's with great results.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGain\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eConventional ribbon microphones need high-quality, high-gain microphone preamplifiers to record softer sound sources. The R-122 is as sensitive as a condenser microphone, allowing you to use practically any mic preamplifier or board pre's to record even the quietest sounds. The R-122 contains a fully balanced, discrete head amplifier system utilizing a specially wound toroidal transformer and ultra-low noise FET's. This system is extremely quiet, can handle 135 dB SPL, and brings the R-122's sensitivity to 37 dB! Go ahead and plug an R-122 into any preamp with average gain - you'll get full Royer performance and enough level to drive any recording medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-122's higher sensitivity does not create additional self-noise. All of the R-122's increased sensitivity comes from its large, specially wound toroidal transformer - that wonderful thing called \"free gain.\" The phantom powered circuitry provides impedance conversion only, adding no noise of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eImpedance Matching\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-122's active electronics put a perfect load on the ribbon element at all times, allowing the R-122 to deliver 100% of its full sonic potential regardless of the input characteristics of the following mic pre. Due to its low-impedance output, R-122's can be used on extremely long cable runs with minimal signal loss.
