Description

The new stereo R88A active ribbon microphone with custom toroid transformers captures

sound as your ears hear it with an honest, open tonality. The R88A effortlessly records the

sonic intricacies of drums, strings, piano, and other instruments that produce complex

transients.

The extra 12dB of transformer gain is advantageous when recording quiet sources like

vocals or soft acoustic guitars. The active impedance buffers help prevent noise

interference on long cable runs or when operating near large lighting rigs. The R88A

requires standard 48V phantom power to operate.
