{"product_id":"royer-ro-r10-db20","title":"Royer R-10 Ribbon Microphone with dBooster","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Royer Labs bundle puts the R-10 passive ribbon microphone together with the dBooster (R-DB20) in-line signal booster. On its own, the R-10 handles more than 160 dB SPL for guitar cabinets, brass and drums. With the dBooster between the mic and the preamp, it gains 12 dB or 20 dB of clean level, which gives acoustic guitars, ukuleles, vocals and other quiet sources enough signal and leaves more headroom at the preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe R-10\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-10 uses the same 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon as Royer's R-121, behind a three-layer windscreen and an internally shock-mounted transducer. Its patented offset-ribbon design takes loud sources on the front (logo) side and gives a brighter sound on the back side for quieter sources at 3 feet or closer. It is hand-built in Burbank, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe dBooster\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dBooster runs on 48 V phantom power and has a Class A input with high input impedance, so it loads the ribbon lightly and adds very little distortion or coloration. An internal regulated supply isolates the mic electrically and protects the ribbon from phantom power. The low-impedance balanced output can drive an audio interface directly and handles long cable runs, mic splitters and vintage-style preamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoyer R-10 passive figure-8 ribbon microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoyer dBooster in-line signal booster with 12 dB and 20 dB gain settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eR-10 handles over 160 dB SPL at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-layer windscreen and internally shock-mounted ribbon transducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePatented offset-ribbon design with a brighter back side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003edBooster Class A input with high input impedance to minimize mic loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003edBooster protects ribbon mics from phantom power and provides electrical isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003edBooster low-impedance output for long cable runs and difficult loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eR-10 Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating principle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electrodynamic pressure gradient\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Figure-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rare earth neodymium (grade 52)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 Hz to 15 kHz, +\/- 3 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e -54 dBV (re. 1 V\/Pa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended load impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700 ohms or greater\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Over 160 dB at 1 kHz, over 135 dB at 50 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput connector:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-pin male XLR (pin 2 hot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 149 mm (5 7\/8 in) long including mounting base, 35 mm (1 3\/8 in) wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368 g (13 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five years; first re-ribbon free to the original owner within the first year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003edBooster Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 dB or 20 dB, switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz to 20 kHz, +\/- 0.25 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHD+N:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.0015% at 20 dB gain (-25 dBu input), 0.001% at 12 dB gain (-6 dBu input)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-noise:\u003c\/strong\u003e Under 11 dBA at 20 dB, under 15 dBA at 12 dB (referred to -48 dB re. 1 V\/Pa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadroom:\u003c\/strong\u003e 127 dB at the 20 dB setting, 120 dB at the 12 dB setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.6 kilohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 ohms (20 dB setting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced XLR input and output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 V phantom, about 5 mA at idle and 7.5 mA at full output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 x 51 x 41.3 mm (3.62 x 2.0 x 1.62 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170 g (6 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e One year, parts and labor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoyer R-10 ribbon microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwivel microphone mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMic sock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoyer dBooster (R-DB20) in-line signal booster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Royer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67380175798521,"sku":"RO-R10\/DB20","price":1049.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/r10-db20-bundle.jpg?v=1792175465","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/royer-ro-r10-db20","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
