Ideal for both studio recording and live sound applications, the new Royer R-12 active
\nribbon microphone delivers outstanding performance on electric and acoustic stringed
\ninstruments, vocals, brass, pianos and organs, as well as drums and percussion
\ninstruments at an easily affordable price point.
\nThe R-12 is capable of extremely natural sound acquisition, making the microphone an
\nexceptional choice for capturing an audio source just like it sounds to the ear with
\nextraordinary sonic accuracy. Royer ribbons have always been known for their ability to
\ndeliver a warm sound capable of capturing the elusive nuances of the original
\nperformance. R-12 takes this capability to the next level.
\nOf particular note, the R-12 uses the same 2.5 micron ribbon element found in the
\ncompany\u2019s legendary R-121 microphone. This feature delivers Royer\u2019s well-known high
\nSPL (Sound Pressure Level) capabilities measured at 160dB @ 1kHz. With its
\nswitchable -15dB pad, the R-12 can deliver excellent headroom for louder program
\nmaterial such as drums and dimed electric guitars. This important feature eliminates any
\npotential for headroom-related distortion on even the loudest sound sources.
\nAnother notable feature of the new R-12 microphone is its onboard active electronic
\ncircuitry, which significantly increases output level for quieter sound sources such as
\nacoustic instruments and vocals. R-12\u2019s active electronics consistently put a perfect
\nload on the ribbon element, enabling the microphone to deliver its full sonic potential.
\nThe R-12 is also outfitted with a switchable High Pass filter precisely tuned to reduce
\nlow end proximity buildup, making this microphone a perfect choice for capturing louder
\nvocal performances and close-miking of instruments and loudspeaker cabinets.
\nCompleting its rich feature set, the R-12 houses an internally shock-mounted ribbon
\ntransducer, which helps to protect the ribbon element while also reducing handling
\nnoise. Combined with its built-in triple-layer wind screen, the microphone\u2019s ribbon is
\neffectively protected against plosives and other wind-related noise.<\/p>\n
