Bidirectional Tube Ribbon Microphone

The Golden Age Project R1 Tube Active is an active tube ribbon mic in a traditional pill-style body.

The mic uses a 12AX7 tube based amplifier.

The ribbon used in this mic is 50x5mm long ribbon with 2 micron thickness.

Sound On Sound - 2007
We loved this mic on acoustic. It was lovely and balanced and, thanks to the tube, gave a scratchy top (“but in a good way”), that we felt would help the guitar to work really well in the wider context of a mix. Again, the results seem very good for the price.

The mic ships with a 10m cable, power supply and aluminum flight case.

The Golden Age Project R 1 Tube Active is also known as: R1 Tube.
