Royer Labs R-122V
MSRP: $2,995 Bidirectional Ribbon Tube Microphone
Description
Imagine all the innovative developments of the R-122, combined with a “JAN mil-spec 5840W pentode” vacuum tube:
- offset 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon, giving high SPL capabilities and “two mic sounds in one” (patent #6434252)
- high output gain (unlike standard, non-powered ribbon designs
- constant, ideal load on the ribbon, regardless of mic pre impedance
The 122V ships in a “flight case” style box, with cable, shockmount, and dedicated power supply. It is covered by a lifetime warranty (to the original owner); the tube is warrantied for 10 years. (Presumably the ribbon is warrantied for one year.)
The Royer Labs R-122V is also known as: R122V.
The mic was released in 2005.
