Royer Labs R-121 Ribbon Microphone (Pre-owned in excellent condition)
Royer Labs R-121 Ribbon Microphone
The Royer Labs R-121 is widely regarded as one of the finest ribbon microphones ever made, and a true studio standard for capturing guitar amplifiers, brass, strings, woodwinds, and room ambience. Known for its warm, natural sound and forgiving high-frequency response, the R-121 tames harsh transients and delivers recordings that sit beautifully in a mix with minimal processing.
This unit (Serial #453) comes complete with its original wooden presentation case lined in red velvet, the original white outer box, product documentation, and a Master Material Return Receipt, indicating it has been through Royer's service process. It is in excellent condition and ready to work.
