The R-121 is Royer's flagship microphone - the iconic, radically engineered ribbon mic that put modern ribbons on the in the 1990s has changed the meaning of “natural sound” for engineers and musicians around the world. The undisputed #1 first-call ribbon microphone for electric guitars, R-121s are equally well suited for trumpets and all brass instruments, drum rooms, percussion, piano, and much more. The R-121 delivers a warm, extremely natural sound pickup in a compact, light-weight, high-output package that's easy to position, and it handles massive SPLs famously (160dB #1kHz). R-121s are built to use on guitar ramps from small combos to wide open high-wattage heads, trumpets from close-up muted to blow-your-hardest blaring, drums, and other high SPL applications. But its nuanced, natural sound pickup is also beautiful on quiet instruments like fingerpicked acoustic guitars, harp, flute, light percussion and others. The R-121 is warm, smooth and musical, giving phenomenal results on a wide variety of instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA ribbon hears a room the way your ears do.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"vmi-benefit-bar\"\u003eFree shipping · Free local pickup in Miami · Financing at checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigure-of-eight pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural high-frequency roll off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles loud sources without harshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the R-121 Studio Ribbon Microphone?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRibbon microphones capture the top end gently rather than exaggerating it, which is why they sit so well on guitar cabinets, brass and drum overheads where a bright condenser turns brittle.
