Congratulations to our friends at Royer Labs for winning a 2013 Technical GRAMMY! Royer is being awarded in recognition of how their ribbon microphones have changed the way in which music is recorded. According to a NARAS release, “In the ’90s, Royer Labs single-handedly brought ribbon microphones into mainstream recording. Older ribbon microphone designs had fallen out of use in the ’60s due to low output and because they were heavy and fragile. Royer designed a radically different line of ribbon microphones — small, lightweight, durable, and achieving incredible sound — which were revolutionary and moved the art of recording forward. Royer’s innovations continue to win the praise of artists, producers and engineers today.”
