sE Electronics RNR1 Active Ribbon Microphone

Sure the RNR1 has all of the great characteristics that ribbon mic lovers expect: impeccable detail, impressive sensitivity, and heroic SPL handling, but that's not all. As opposed to most ribbons, which suffer performance drops at around 7-10kHz, the RNR1 actually gains a mild presence boost in the upper mid range. The result is an amazing-sounding ribbon microphone with a nearly ruler flat frequency response that sounds perfectly natural. With an RNR1 in your collection, you'll be able to capture everything from instruments to vocals more realistically than ever before!
