Royer Labs R-122 MKII Ribbon Microphone with RSM-SS1 “Sling-Shock” Mount
The Royer R-122 MKII is a revolutionary phantom-powered ribbon microphone that brings together the warmth and detail of classic ribbon designs with modern output capabilities. This bundle includes the R-122 MKII along with the RSM-SS1 Sling-Shock suspension mount, offering superior isolation and vibration control for studio and live environments.
The R-122 MKII builds upon the original R-122—the world’s first active ribbon mic—by adding a switchable -15 dB pad and a bass cut filter. This makes it incredibly flexible, handling loud sources with ease while maintaining rich ribbon tone and exceptional clarity. Its active electronics are powered via standard 48V phantom power, delivering a strong signal that pairs well with any mic preamp.
The included RSM-SS1 Sling-Shock provides advanced mechanical isolation without the use of elastic bands. Royer’s innovative non-elastic suspension design effectively reduces stand-borne noise and low-frequency rumble, ensuring the R-122 MKII performs at its best in every situation.
