In 2022, we introduced the R-11, the world's first phantom powered, active ribbon microphone. It was a revolutionary development in ribbon mics, combining impedance matching circuitry with condenser-like output levels that allowed the R-122 to be used on even the quietest sound sources. It also allowed the mic to be paired to virtually any preamplifier. The R-122 MKII takes the R-122 to a whole new level, delivering unprecedented flexibility for ribbons via the addition of a switchable -15 dB pad and a switchable bass-cut filter. The switches are completely cut out of the circuit when disengaged so when both are off, the microphone is for all purposes an original R-22. The switches are located on the back of the microphone and recessed to prevent accidental activation. Features: Phantom powered circuitry provides high output and impedance matching -15 dB pad before the mic's electronics gives more headroom when activated Bass cut filter reduces proximity effect and bass below 100 Hz when activated High SPL Capabilities No distortion up to maximum SPL rating Extremely low residual noise Ribbon element is not affected by heat or humidity Absence of high frequency phase distortion Equal sensitivity from front or back of element Consistent frequency response regardless of distance Rear side of mic records slightly brighter when three feet or closer to sound source.
