Royer Labs R-121-MP Matched Pair with 2 x RSM-SS1 “Sling-Shock” Mounts
The Royer R-121-MP is a matched pair of Royer’s legendary R-121 ribbon microphones, delivered with two RSM-SS1 Sling-Shock mounts for the ultimate in tone and isolation. Ideal for stereo recording applications, this matched pair ensures phase coherence and tonal balance, making it the preferred choice for capturing drum overheads, piano, acoustic instruments, brass sections, and orchestral ensembles with stunning realism.
Renowned for its natural, balanced tone and smooth high-end response, the R-121 has become the modern standard for ribbon microphones. Unlike vintage-style ribbons, the R-121 handles high SPLs with ease and delivers an open, warm sound that excels on everything from electric guitar cabinets to classical strings. The matched pair configuration ensures precise stereo imaging and consistency between the two microphones—critical for professional stereo and surround recording setups.
Included in this bundle are two Royer RSM-SS1 Sling-Shock suspension mounts, which offer outstanding isolation from mechanical vibrations and eliminate the need for rubber bands. Built with Royer’s patented non-elastic “sling” system, the RSM-SS1 enhances recording clarity by preventing unwanted noise and low-frequency rumble.
