Electro Harmonix R1 Ribbon Microphone

Electro Harmonix R1

The stunning looks of the EH-R1, combined with the classic sound of its double ribbon filament, make this a very desirable microphone. The Electro-Harmonix EH-R1 is suitable in any situation where a warm and rounded sound is required. The virtually non-existent noise floor means that when used in conjunction with a good pre-amp, such as the Electro-Harmonix 12AY7 tube Mic-Pre, you have the ideal microphone for digital recording. Following in the tradition of the classic ribbon mics, the EH-R1 has many advantages and uses in broadcast and installation. Due to the sound rejection from the sides, the definition is excellent. The figure-eight pattern is almost completely uniform at all frequencies. It is eminently suited to string and brass instruments. The overall sound is pure but never harsh and gives a particularly pleasing smooth sound to vocals. The EH-R1 offers a unique and different sound that once again shows that the ribbon should never have been ignored or forgotten.
