Description

Here's what Golden Age Project say about the R1 MKII Passive Ribbon Mic

The R 1 MKII is a high quality vintage style ribbon microphone. It offers the unique and natural sound that has been available in classical microphones like the RCA 44 and 77 that are still used to make high quality recordings today, after almost 70 years.

The R1 Mk2 is very well suited for the recording of most sound sources like vocals, acoustic instruments, strings, horns, orchestras and choral groups and many live sound applications.

Golden Age Project

Golden Age Project is represented in the current MicPro catalogue by R1-SM shockmount, R2 MKII ribbon, FC4 and MC microphones. The listed range is relevant to ribbon capture, studio microphones and isolation hardware. When comparing these products, check ribbon power guidance, capsule type, pattern, shockmount fit, preamp gain and intended source. It gives the catalogue both a microphone and supporting mount choices, with the individual model deciding the recording role. This description is kept catalogue-led, so the individual model listing remains the source for exact specifications, compatibility and included accessories.

Ribbon Microphones

Ribbon microphones use a thin ribbon element to capture sound with a character that is often smooth, natural and sensitive to placement. Many passive ribbon designs have a figure-eight pattern and can suit guitar cabinets, brass, vocals, room recording and close or distant techniques; active ribbons may have different power and output requirements. Check the model’s phantom-power guidance, preamp gain, maximum level, ribbon protection, polar pattern and mounting. Avoid assuming every ribbon behaves identically: the circuit, transformer and intended distance determine how it fits a recording chain.
