Every Royer R-10 delivers the sonic excellence, flexibility and durability that recording & FOH engineers know they can expect from Royer, but at an easier-to-handle price point than most expect! The R-10 is a passive, mono ribbon microphone designed for use in the studio and on live stages. Hand-built in our Burbank, California factory, the R-10 is exceptionally rugged, handling SPLs of up to 160 dB @ 1 kHz (!), and its compact size and mounting system allow for flexible, unobtrusive positioning. The R-10's 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon element (same as in the legendary R-121) is formed with our patented direct-corrugation process, and is extremely well-protected by a 3-layer windscreen system and internally shock-mounted ribbon transducer. The R-10's built-in windscreen provides superior protection from air blasts and plosives, while also reducing proximity effect (bass buildup from close micing) so guitar cabinets and acoustic instruments can be more easily close-miced. The internally shock-mounted ribbon transducer isolates the ribbon element from unwanted vibrations, decreasing rumble and increasing the ribbon element's durability. The transducer is even wired for humbucking to better reject electromagnetically induced noise! The R-10 utilizes a David Royer custom-designed transformer for high overload threshold, minimizing saturation at even extremely high sound pressure levels. You'll never overload an R-10! The mic's open grill design minimizes standing waves and associated comb-filtering effects and its smooth frequency response, phase linearity and lack of self-distortion make it ideal for all digital recording and live sound formats. The R-10 is truly an excellent tool for recording almost any sound source you can think of!

What is the R-10 Studio/Live Microphone?
Microphone choice sets the ceiling for everything that follows. Preamps, conversion and plugins can shape a signal but none of them can add detail the capsule never captured, which is why the microphone is the one place worth spending first.
