The R-122V-MP Vacuum Tube Ribbon Microphone (Mached Stereo) is Royer’s top model. It combines the well-known and beloved sound of Royer ribbon microphones with tubes, achieving a supreme warmth combined with clarity and air.
The R-122V-MP is the absolute best in ribbon microphones for stereo recordings.
NB, it is a good idea to purchase the Sling-Shock RSM-SS1 as seen in the last picture.
