From Our Research Team:

Ribbons Rock!

...and so does sE Electronics. Put them together, and you've got one of the coolest, most affordable ribbon mics out there. Based on some of the innovations sE created when they made the world-famous RNR1 ribbon mic, sE Electronics set out to create the affordable, passive Voodoo VR1 ribbon microphone. What makes the Voodoo VR1 perform amazingly well across its 20Hz-18kHz frequency response, however, is a breakthrough mechanical design concept introduced by sE CEO, Siwei Zou. The impact this patent-pending design has on the Voodoo VR1 is phenomenal! Use the Voodoo VR1 on vocals and get astonishingly natural sounding results. Put it on drums and you'll be amazed by its open and detailed imaging. And the Voodoo VR1 really shines on guitar cabinets and acoustic instruments. If you're already a ribbon lover, this mic will exceed your expectations, and if you're new to ribbons, the Voodoo VR1 is the perfect place to start!

Love it on certain things

Music Background: Engineer, Producer
I had a chance to hear this on several different sources up against some of my favs, like the Coles 4038, a few different Royers, an AT4080, etc. This was the most inexpensive mic in the bunch and it ... read more [+]held its own. I know we all think of a mellow high end with any ribbon, but this one is tailored especially well. It seems like everything I hear from ribbons is either completely lacking high end content but has the warmest sound imaginable, or is eq'd internally to hype up the highs, while sacrificing a lot of the beautiful lows that makes a ribbon a ribbon. The Voodoo is a pretty good middle. The high end is extremely smooth, has plenty of detail, but not so much as to make it sound like a shrill condenser. And the bottom is rotund. On voice overs it performed extremely well. The only source I didn't absolutely love it on was woodwinds. It unfavorably makes the mechanics stick out too much. But that can easily be dealt with if you don't mind going more off-axis or eq'ing. I almost always favored this over the Royer R101, except of course with... woodwinds, where the R101 was completely opposite, very flattering. To me it never really beat the 4038, but that could just be because its what I love and am used to hearing. But it did get really close. And considering the fact that you could get two of these for the price of one Coles... its kind of a no-brainer. close [-]
