The Royer R-121 gives all of the warmth and natural sound that experienced engineers have long turned to ribbon mics for, but in a compact, light-weight, high output and tough-as-nails package that was unheard of in a ribbon mic before the Royer R-121.

Like many of the best classic ribbon mics, the Royer R-121 has a figure-8 pattern, output level comparable to a dynamic mic, and a warm, realistic tone and flat frequency response. By using advanced materials and a blend of cutting edge and old-school, hand-build construction techniques, the Royer R-121 is an extremely versatile and user-friendly ribbon mic that can stand up to the most demanding tasks. Cranked up electric guitars, close up brass, drums - you name it, the Royer R-121 will help you record it with realism you have to hear to believe.
