Description
The SF-24 is a phantom-powered version of the SF-12. Both are dual-ribbon stereo microphones with an onboard XLR5 connector, which is split via included jumper cable into two standard XLRM connectors.
Unlike dynamic ribbon designs, the SF-24 is not sensitive to input loading or impediance from the preamp. Onboard active electronics provide an ideal, constant load on the element, providing a much more sensitive response. This translates to much higher output as compared to a dynamic ribbon mic, allowing the use of any standard preamp, without concern about “impedance matching” controls.
In 2008, Royer Labs began shipping a “Live” version of the SF-12, called the SF-12L. It is distinguished by a thicker, more durable ribbon and a red logo badge. It is intended for higher-SPL live applications.
The Royer Labs SF-24 is also known as: SF24, SF24L, SF-24L.
