In studios and on live stages around the world, the R-121 is the sound of electric guitars…and so much more!
The R-121 – Royer’s flagship microphone – is the iconic, radically engineered ribbon mic that changed the meaning of “natural sound” for engineers and musicians around the world. The undisputed #1 first-call ribbon microphone for electric guitars, R-121s are equally well suited for trumpets and all brass instruments, drum rooms, percussion, piano, and much more.
The R-121 delivers a warm, extremely natural sound pickup in a compact, lightweight, high-output package that’s easy to position, and handles massive SPLs easily (160dB @ 1kHz). R-121s are built to use on guitar amps from small combos to wide open high-wattage heads, trumpets from close-up muted to blow-your-hardest blaring, drums, and other high SPL applications…but its nuanced, natural sound pickup is also beautiful on quiet instruments like fingerpicked acoustic guitars, harp, flute, light percussion and others. The R-121 delivers phenomenal results on a wide variety of instruments.
