Beskrivning

The R1A is a unique microphone since it is a high quality and low cost vintage style ribbon microphone with active electronics using high end components.

FEATURES

• The unmatched natural and musical sound of a classical ribbon microphone combined with a discrete amplifier (no integrated coircuits used), powered by standard 48V phantom power, that isolates the ribbon and the gain make-up transformer from the outside world. A stunning realism with the feeling of ”being-there” and a fast and life-like transient reproduction.
• The typical large and mellow ribbon sound quality with a very smooth top end and an extended low end.
• An ultra-high SPL capability, 160 dB SPL (1% THD @ 1000Hz) and a very high sensitivity for a ribbon microphone, similar to many condenser microphones.
• Figure-8 directional pattern for wide sweet spots both in the front and in the back of the microphone.
• 50mm long ribbon made of 2 microns thick aluminium foil and an internal shock mount for the ribbon and magnet assembly.
• Selectable high pass filter and -10dB Pad.
• Removable microphone cable built with Mogami Neglex Studio Quad cable and Neutrik XLR goldplated connectors.
• Swedish made Lundahl 1927A transformer.
• High end Wima film and Nichicon electrolytic audio capacitors used in the amplifier.
• Manufactured of the finest materials for a great performance and long-term reliability.
• The R1A can be used with any standard mixer or preamp with a balanced input that can supply 48V phantom power.
• Great sound that suits most sound sources and genres.
• A solid build quality that will last many years of normal use.
