R10 Ribbon Microphone

The Royer R-10 is a passive mono ribbon microphone designed to be used within the studio and on reside levels. Hand-built in our Burbank California manufacturing unit, R-10’s sound and efficiency are all-Royer! R-10 is exceptionally rugged, dealing with SPLs of as much as 160 dB @ 1 kHz (!), and its compact measurement and mounting system enable for versatile, unobtrusive positioning. The R-10’s 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon component (identical as within the legendary R-121) is fashioned with our patented direct-corrugation course of, and is extraordinarily well-protected by a 3-layer windscreen system and internally shock-mounted ribbon transducer. The R-10’s built-in windscreen offers superior safety from air blasts and plosives. It additionally reduces proximity impact (bass buildup from shut miking) so guitar cupboards and acoustic devices will be close-miked with much less bass buildup. The internally shock-mounted ribbon transducer isolates the ribbon component from undesirable vibrations, rising the ribbon component’s sturdiness. The transducer is even wired for humbucking to reject electromagnetically induced noise!

THE ROYER MIC FOR EVERYONE, THE RIBBON FOR EVERYTHING: Mainly, in case you can consider an acoustic or electrical sound supply, the R-10 is simply the appropriate software to seize it.
DAVID ROYER CUSTOM DESIGNED TRANSFORMER for prime overload threshold, minimizing saturation at even extraordinarily excessive sound stress ranges. You’ll by no means overload an R-10!
OPEN GRILL DESIGN minimizes standing waves and related comb-filtering results and its easy frequency response, part linearity and lack of self-distortion make it ideally suited for all digital recording and reside sound codecs.
ROYER’S PATENTED OFFSET RIBBON DESIGN like the remainder of the R collection, positioning the ribbon component towards the entrance of the transducer, which permits for prime SPL dealing with on the entrance (brand) facet and the choice of a brighter response when recording decrease SPL sound sources like acoustic guitar, ukulele and vocals on the bottom.
