R 1 MK2

Golden Age Project

The R1 MKII from Golden Age Project is a ribbon microphone that offers characteristic ribbon performance. It gives you the smooth high end and extended lows that make ribbon mics so popular with recording engineers and producers. Outfitted with a ribbon that's 50mm long and 2 microns thick, the R1 MKII provides fast and life-like transient response, and can handle extremely high sound pressure levels up to 160 dB SPL. As is typical for a ribbon mic, it has a figure-8 polar pattern, which means it picks up primarily from the front and rear of the capsule and rejects sounds coming from the sides. You can use this to your advantage in the studio to help minimize bleed when two or more sources are recording in the same room. The R1 MKII is well-suited for electric guitar, vocals, strings, horns, acoustic instruments, orchestras, choral groups, and many live-sound applications. The R1 MKII comes with a soft transport case and an XLR mic cable.None Offers the natural and musical sound of a classic ribbon microphoneNone Ultra-realistic reproduction, with smooth highs and extended low endNone Provides the characteristic large-and-mellow ribbon-mic sound quality, featuring a very smooth top end and an extended low endNone Fast and life-like transient responseNone An very high SPL capability, 160 dB SPL (1% THD @ 1000 Hz)None Very good sensitivity for a ribbon microphoneNone The Figure-8 polar pattern offers wide sweet spots both in the front and in the back of the microphone, and rejection on the sidesNone A ribbon that's 50 mm long and made of 2-micron-thick aluminum foilNone An internal shock mount for the ribbon and magnet assemblyNone Comes with a soft transport case and an XLR mic cableNone Manufactured from the finest materials for great performance and long-term reliabilityNone Can be used with any standard mixer or preamp, preferably one with a balanced input
