Ribbon R121
The Royer R-121 is a ribbon microphone renowned for its smooth, natural sound and high SPL handling. Its figure-8 polar pattern captures both direct and ambient sound, making it ideal for recording electric guitar and bass amplifiers. The R-121 delivers a warm, detailed tone without harshness, preserving the true character of amps. It excels at close-miking guitar cabs, providing a balanced, full-bodied sound with rich midrange and controlled highs, and is also effective for capturing bass amps with clarity and depth.
