The Royer SF-24 active stereo coincident ribbon mic (shown here in a gold finish for display purposes, shipping product is black) is apparently the only mic of its kind available. It’s a modern ribbon design with no audible diffraction effects or cavity resonance. The SF-24’s active electronics produce an output comparable to studio condenser mics while providing an optimum load to both ribbon elements at all times. The very low output impedance of the SF-24 allows it to operate with any mic preamp of nominal gain and impedance and makes it also suitable for use with long cable runs. The SF-24 is actually two matched ribbon mics placed one above the other, each aimed at 45 degrees from center. It’s likely that this mic is going to be fantastic for choirs, orchestras, string sections, drum overheads, room miking and any situation where stereo miking is requested.
