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.
