Микрофон Royer R-10

Описание

The R-10’s built-in windscreen provides superior protection from air blasts and plosives. It also reduces proximity effect (bass buildup from close miking) so guitar cabinets and acoustic instruments can be close-miked with less bass buildup. The R-10’s internally shockmounted ribbon transducer isolates the ribbon element from shocks and vibrations, increasing the ribbon element’s durability.

The R-10 utilizes a David Royer custom-designed transformer for high overload threshold, minimizing saturation at even extremely high sound pressure levels. You’ll never overload an R-10! The mic’s open grill design minimizes standing waves and associated comb-filtering effects and its smooth frequency response, phase linearity and lack of self-distortion make it ideal for all digital recording and live sound formats.

The Sound

Royer ribbon mics are legendary on electric guitar and the R-10 shows some of its best stuff on studio and live electrics, capturing all the low end, midrange warmth and punch guitarists and engineers have come to expect from a Royer. If you want more bite in the highs but don’t want to multi-mic (particularly on live stages where blending microphones can create phase-related problems), the R-10 takes EQ beautifully and we suggest experimenting with your favorite EQ unit or plugin.

The R-10 is excellent on brass and can handle close-miked trumpets, trombones, and other brass instruments. Brass records naturally on an R-10, as bright as the musician plays but without the added sizzle or harshness commonly experienced when condenser mics are used on brass instruments.

Drums are full-bodied with realistic (not over-hyped) transients response, and the R-10’s figure-8 pattern conveys superb ambience and depth when used for room miking applications. A compressed R-10 in front of the kit sounds huge and punchy.

R-10 recordings of violins, ukuleles, steel-stringed and nylon-stringed acoustic guitars, banjos, and other stringed instruments are warmth and natural and fit into mixes easily. “Airing out” the recorded track by opening up a bit of 12K with an EQ often gives surprisingly good results.

Vocals record warm and naturally on an R-10, and the EQ-friendliness of the R-10 allows for dialing in completely different sounds with liberal use of EQ. Try experimenting with cutting bass at 100 Hz and opening up 12K by 3 to 6 dB (or more!). Some great vocal performances were recorded on highly EQ’d ribbon mics (Sixpence None the Richer “There She Goes Again” and “Kiss Me” for example).

Royer’s Patented Offset Ribbon Technology

The R-10’s patented offset-ribbon design positions the ribbon element toward the front of the transducer, which allows for high SPL handling on the front (logo) side and the option of a brighter response when recording lower SPL sound sources like acoustic guitar, ukulele and vocals on the backside (3 feet or closer; phase reversed position).

The R-10 is available in matched pairs.

За производителя

Royer e американска компания, създадена през 1997г. Тя e известна с това, че комбинира традиционната топлина на лентовите микрофони с модерни технологии. По-старите лентови микрофони имат чудесен звук, но са неустойчиви и лесно се чупят. Микрофоните на Royer, са достатъчно устойчиви, за да бъдат поставени пред усилвател за електрически китари, което не би било възможно при по-старите лентови микрофони.

Дейвид Ройер проектира своя пръв лентов микрофон R-121 през 1997г. и стартира компанията, която получава неговото име една година по-късно. Когато R-121 е пуснат в продажба, той получава позитивни отзиви от всички известни списания и медии, които отразяват събития свързани със звукозаписния бизнес. Компанията продължава да прави нововъведения и е първата фирма, която разработва лентов микрофон с фантомно захранване, както и лампов-лентов микрофон.

Микрофоните Royer могат да се използват с най-различни инструменти – класически и електрически китари, барабани, пиана, духови инструменти и др. Сред клиентите на Royer са Карлос Сантана, Хърб Алперт, Стиви Албини, Рос Хогарт и Ед Черни.

Продуктите се проектират и произвеждат в САЩ.
