{"product_id":"royer-ro-r10mp","title":"Royer R-10 Ribbon Microphone Matched Pair","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Royer R-10 Matched Pair is two R-10 passive figure-8 ribbon microphones, supplied by Royer Labs as a matched set for stereo recording. Each mic has the 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon used in the R-121, handles more than 160 dB SPL at 1 kHz, and protects its ribbon with a three-layer windscreen and an internally shock-mounted transducer. Both mics are hand-built in Burbank, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStereo Setups\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo figure-8 mics cover the classic coincident techniques: a Blumlein pair crossed at 90 degrees, or a mid-side array, where recording mid and side on separate tracks lets you set the stereo width at mixdown. Royer's manual also suggests a spaced pair over the bass and treble strings of a piano, an X-Y pair near the soundboard, and a pair 4 to 6 feet above a drum kit. A pair of R-10s beside a Leslie cabinet is another of Royer's suggestions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo R-10 passive ribbon microphones, sold as a matched pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFigure-8 pattern suited to Blumlein and mid-side stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-micron aluminum ribbon, the same element used in the R-121\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandles over 160 dB SPL at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-layer windscreen protects the ribbon from air blasts and plosives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInternally shock-mounted ribbon transducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCustom Royer transformer resists overload at high SPL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHumbucking transducer wiring for very low residual noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePatented offset-ribbon design with a brighter back side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRibbon element unaffected by heat or humidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 microphones, matched pair\u003c\/li\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\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 x Royer R-10 ribbon microphone (matched pair)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 x swivel microphone mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 x mic sock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Royer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67380177961209,"sku":"RO-R10MP","price":1749.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/r10-front_09a2a65f-76d4-441e-88ec-d097688ff84c.jpg?v=1792175456","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/royer-ro-r10mp","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
