Royer SF-12 Review
- Reviewed By Alex Arnold
The Royer SF-12 is a fantastic ribbon microphone!

The SF-12 is actually a stereo microphone, and as some people have put it, actually two SF-1's combined. It is a great value for the money, and is a microphone no studio would want to be without.

In my experience of using it, I have found that it sounds great on a variety of instruments. I have used it on drums and the result is stunning; the captured warmth of the SF-12 translates beautifully even through an Mbox! This mic sounds not only great on drums, but on vocals, and guitar. I did some A/B comparisons between the Royer SF-12 and Audio Technica's AT3035, and while the AT3035 is a decent mic, the SF-12 blew it out of the water! The big difference is that the AT3035 has a slight tendency to sound 'tinny,' while the SF-12 sounds big and warm and nice in the lower end. All in all the Royer SF-12 would be a valued treasure to any home or commercial studio.
