Royer R-121 Studio Ribbon Microphone: Revolutionizing Ribbon Mic Technology

Released in 1998, the award-winning Royer R-121 Studio Ribbon Microphone is our flagship model and the world's first radically reengineered ribbon microphone. The R-121 combines all the warmth and natural sound that experienced engineers seek from ribbon mics with a compact, lightweight, high-output, and robust design. This innovative approach has made the R-121 a standard for tracking electric guitar and brass instruments.
