Your Go-to Studio Ribbon Mic Pair!

Here's a ribbon mic matched pair that's built to take on practically any sound source in the room - in true stereo! Royer's amazing R-101 Matched Pair works well on everything from drums to acoustic guitars to loud amplifiers. You'll love the smooth "you are there" sound you get from the R-101. You'll also appreciate the peace of mind you get knowing that this ribbon mic pair is robust enough to handle all these sources, thanks to its high SPL handling (in excess of 135dB). A built-in multilayer windscreen helps protect each mic's ribbon element from plosives and wind damage.
