      The R-122V is the pinnacle of our R-Series line, a world-class tube ribbon microphone exhibiting unparalleled richness, depth, and detail, particularly in the midrange frequencies. With a lushness that has to be heard to be truly appreciated, the R-122V offers the ultimate in ribbon microphone performance for those who insist on the very best.

      The R-122V takes the Royer-pioneered concept of active ribbon microphone technology to an unprecedented level by incorporating vacuum tube electronics into the same proven transducer system used in the venerable R-121 and R-122 ribbon microphones. The high operating voltage of the vacuum tube provides headroom far beyond that available from a standard phantom power supply. Sonically this translates into unmwatched clarity, detail, and airiness, along with the ability to handle brute SPL levels without flinching.

      Features:

      • Vacuum tube electronics provide high output capacity, optimal impedance to the ribbon element and low output impedance

      • Extremely low self-noise

      • Operates from a dedicated power supply

      • High SPL capabilities for electric guitar and percussion instruments

      • Absence of high-frequency peaks, “ringing” and phase shifts

      • Ribbon element, unaffected by impedance/load, heat or humidity

      • Very low magnetic leakage

      • 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
