The Royer Labs R-122 MKII Live Matched Pair is a road-optimized set of their phantom powered R-122 MK-II ribbon microphone. The output of the Royer Labs R-122 MKII Live is on par with phantom powered condenser mics, allowing for long cable runs and the occasional sub-par mic preamps. In addition, the mic's switchable -15 dB pad and bass-cut filter deliver unprecedented flexibility on electric guitars, drum overheads, trumpets and other live instruments. Most importantly, it produces the warm, realistic sounds that only ribbon mics can deliver. Along with its smooth, natural response, the Royer Labs R-122 MKII Live virtually eliminates the shrill high-end often encountered with live guitars, brass and drum cymbals. Push up the faders and there's the instrument in all its fullness, minus the peaky highs that engineers spend so much time fighting.
