The Royer R-121, introduced in 1998, is the ribbon mic that pulled the format into the modern studio. Its offset-ribbon design handles huge SPLs without folding, making it a favourite for cranked guitar amps, brass, and drums. Smooth yet detailed, it brings classic ribbon warmth with a natural top end, while reversing the mic offers a slightly brighter flavour. Built by hand in California, the R-121 is compact, rugged, and sensitive enough to rival condensers, but with the forgiving, musical character ribbons are loved for.
Includes original wooden boxes and cloth pouches.
