A Royer ribbon for the stage! Royer's R-121 is a favorite studio mics here at Sweetwater, with many of our Sales Engineers owning and using these microphones due to their flexibility and versatility. The R-121 Live is a R-121 with a thicker ribbon manufactured specifically for use on the live stage. You can use the R-121 Live on everything from guitar amps and percussion to woodwind and acoustic instruments and rest assured that your ribbon will survive its time on stage. The R-121 is a studio must-have, and the R-121 Live is certain to be a FOH favorite as well. Royer R-121 Live at a Glance: Ribbon-Velocity Live Microphone Rejection Off-Axis Coloration Ribbon-Velocity Live Microphone The Royer R-121 Live is a live-sound specific version of the radically redesigned ribbon microphone and Royer's flagship product, the R-121. Like most ribbons, the Royer R-121 Live's pattern is figure 8, its sensitivity is roughly equal to a good dynamic mic, and it exhibits a warm, realistic tone and flat frequency response. But when it came to design time, Royer threw out the molds and took a fresh approach to ribbons using advanced materials and cutting edge construction techniques. The Royer R-121 Live again redefines ribbon microphones, bringing the Royer sound that's quickly becoming legendary to live stages everywhere. Rejection Royer ribbon mics are figure-8, picking up sound from the front and rear of the microphone, and rejecting sounds approaching from a) the left and right sides of the mic, b) the top of the mic, and c) the bottom of the mic. These are extremely effective dead zones that engineers use to isolate instruments by positioning the mics in such a way that the dead zones face, and cancel, offending sound sources. Off-Axis Coloration There's a lot of sound on a live stage and you can't entirely control for off-axis information getting into microphones, even ribbons. Most microphones color off-axis information in highly unflattering ways, which is why bleed can sound so nasty. Ribbons don't color off-axis information, so any bleed that manages to get into your onstage Royers will sound natural, not harsh or colored. Royer R-121 Live Features: Designed for Live use Thicker Ribbon for durability High SPL Capabilities No internal active electronics to overload or produce distortion up to maximum SPL rating Extremely low residual noise Ribbon element is not affected by heat or humidity Absence of high frequency phase distortion Equal sensitivity from front or back of element Consistent frequency response regardless of distance Field replaceable ribbon transducer Dull Nickel finish Comes in wooden box Royer R-121 Live brings ribbon sound to the live stage!  Tell a Friend About the R-121 Live!  Print This Page See Also:  Ribbon Microphones
