The
Royer R-121 is a radically redesigned ribbon microphone and Royer's
flagship product. Like most ribbons, the Royer R-121'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 redefines ribbon microphones,
leading Recording Magazine to say "the Royer Royer R-121 is destined to
become one of the classic microphones of the 21st century." It's a
sleek, light, and extremely versatile microphone that is easy to use,
wonderfully musical, and extremely sturdy.

Recording with the Royer R-121
A
Royer R-121 ribbon microphone hears things the way your ears hear them.
If you've ever heard that incredible guitar, melodic trumpet, sweet
flute, deep kick drum, etc. and found getting that sound to tape or hard
drive was impossible, you owe it to yourself to try a Royer ribbon. On
playback, you'll notice that the recorded sound is natural and alive,
with a panoramic, ambient feel much like what you heard when you were
standing in front of the instruments you recorded. The Royer R-121's
response is flat and well balanced; low end is deep and full without
getting boomy, mids are well defined and realistic, and the high-end
response is sweet and natural sounding, never edgy or sibilant.

Need to record at insane levels?
No
problem! The Royer R-121's maximum SPL rating is >135dB, and it can
take that all day long. In practical terms, that means you can put your
Royer R-121 directly in front of a souped up mega-watt Marshall and turn
it up to 11 without microphone distortion or doing any damage to the
ribbon. We don't recommend trying this with other ribbon mics, but the
Royer R-121 can take it, no sweat.

2 mics in one
At
distances of two feet and closer, the back of the Royer R-121 is
brighter than the front side. The difference in the sound is somewhat
like blending 10% of a condenser mic in with your ribbon mic signal.
This can be extremely useful when you record acoustic guitars, vocals,
and other sound sources that you may want to hear a little more top end
on.
