Royer R-121 Ribbon Microphone

Like many of the best classic ribbon mics, the R-121 has a figure-8 pattern, output level comparable to a dynamic mic, and a warm, realistic tone and flat frequency response. But that's where the similarities end. By using advanced materials and a blend of cutting edge and old-school, hand-build construction techniques, the R-121 ribbon mic is an extremely versatile and user-friendly ribbon mic that can stand up to the most demanding tasks.

About Us

Royer Labs is dedicated to the art of the ribbon microphone.

In 1998, the R-121 launched and brought ribbon microphones back to mainstream recording. Then came the SF-12 stereo ribbon mic, followed by the world's first phantom powered ribbon microphones, the TEC Award winning R-122V tube ribbon microphone, and the TEC Award winning Live Series ribbon mics for live use. At Royer, it's all about attention to detail and quality.

Every Royer is hand-made in the USA by craftsmen who are fanatical about building the best ribbon microphones in the world. Come inside and see what ribbon microphones can do for you.
