R1 Mk2 Ribbon Microphone

I was looking for a pair of affordable ribbon mics to experiment with for piano and harpsichord recording (and also with a figure 8 pattern). These fit the bill. The tone is warm with good bass response and smooth high frequencies, but I actually found them to be less colored than I actually expected. Note that the output level is very low, and I found that I really needed to add fethead inline amps before my preamps, which didn't provide quite enough clean boost. The results are clean and warm.Remember that these mics CANNOT tolerate 48V phantom power, so you need to be very careful to make sure it is off or use a fethead or phantom power blocker to be safe!Kudos on the retro styling, which just looks right. They don't include a case, but do include a padded bag to protect the mics, which is a pretty good idea.

Suono fantastico e un'estetica vintage che fa la sua figura!

This is an excellent ribbon mic, well worth the money and makes the voice sound warmer and friendlier. It is an XLR mic and is a great vintage looking microphone.

I have many fabulous Microphones in my collection. I chose the Golden Age Project R1 MKII based on the ardent responses it received by many other well known owners and my own listening tests. In many case this microphone was in a competitive A/B listening test with other microphones costing 2 to 3 times as much, and it still stood out. I have been recording for many years, I was looking to expand my vocal mic selection. Ribbons microphones are know for classic vocals, symphonic and even brass. The Golden Age Project R1 MKII is beautifully warm and has a smooth sonic clarity, one that is easy to listen to with out fatigue. You need to use a good preamp as passive Ribbon microphones have a low output level. GAP also make an MKIII model that is an active Ribbon. Kudos to Liquid Inc., with their free second day shipment, it came on-time. If your reading this you may want to to make your purchase now as the Golden Age Project products are flying off the shelves.
