R-10-MP

Studio/Live Ribbon Microphone - Matched Pair

The Royer R-10-MP is a matched pair of passive ribbon microphones designed to deliver smooth, full-range frequency reproduction and high SPL handling for musicians, recording engineers, and live sound mixers in home studios, recording facilities, and live stage applications. Handbuilt in California, each mic features a high maximum SPL of 135 dB at 50 Hz and 160 dB at 1 kHz, and a wide, unhyped frequency response of 30 Hz to 15 kHz. The R-10 utilizes a standard XLR 3-pin output and does not require phantom power.

Its figure-8 polar pattern allows pickup of sounds from the front and back of the mic, while maximizing sound rejection from both sides. This provides a directional focus in front of the microphone and allows room reflections behind the mic to be captured. The 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon element is protected from vibrations via an internal shockmount. A three-layer windscreen system tames plosives, strong bursts of air, and proximity-induced bass buildup. The wiring of the ribbon results in humbucking, which aids in preventing noise produced through electromagnetic interference.

• The R-10-MP ships with two microphone holders, two mic socks, and a carrying case.
• Figure-8 polar pattern picks up sound from the front and back of the mic and rejects sounds from the sides
• High maximum SPL of 160 dB allows use on loud sources such as drums and electric guitars
• 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon constructed with Royer's patented direct-corrugation process
• 30 Hz to 15 kHz frequency response for full range without harsh high frequencies
• Built-in windscreen system utilizes three layers to protect against air blasts and plosives and reduces proximity effect
• Internal shockmount isolates the ribbon from vibration and increases its durability
• Open grille design reduces standing waves and comb-filtering effects
• Custom-designed transformer minimizes saturation even at high SPLs
• Wired for humbucking to reject electromagnetically induced noise
• Includes microphone holder, mic sock, and carrying case
• Handbuilt in Burbank, California
