Description

In 2022, we introduced the R-11, the world’s first phantom powered, active ribbon™ microphone. It was a revolutionary development in ribbon mics, combining impedance matching circuitry with condenser-like output levels that allowed the R-122 to be used on even the quietest sound sources. It also allowed the mic to be paired to virtually any preamplifier.

The R-122 MKII takes the R-122 to a whole new level, delivering unprecedented flexibility for ribbons via the addition of a switchable -15 dB pad and a switchable bass-cut filter. The switches are completely cut out of the circuit when disengaged so when both are off, the microphone is for all purposes an original R-22. The switches are located on the back of the microphone and recessed to prevent accidental activation.

Features:

• Phantom powered circuitry provides high output and impedance matching

• -15 dB pad before the mic’s electronics gives more headroom when activated

• Bass cut filter reduces proximity effect and bass below 100 Hz when activated

• High SPL Capabilities

• No distortion up to maximum SPL rating

• Extremely low residual noise

• Ribbon element is not affected by heat or humidity

• Absence of high frequency phase distortion

• Equal sensitivity from front or back of element

• Consistent frequency response regardless of distance

• Rear side of mic records slightly brighter when three feet or closer to sound source
