A Royer R-121 in very good condition. The mic itself is in excellent working condition but I marked it as very good due to a couple cosmetic issues. The case has some scratches and the microphone had a frozen screw that was professionally replaced and cleaned but resulted in a slight discoloration around the screw and grill directly below the screw on the back side. The electronics or the ribbon were not affected at all. I ve loved using this microphone for applications such as acoustic/electric guitar and as a room microphone for drums percussion and many acoustic instruments. A fantastic versatile microphone that can be used for just about everything except for close-miking very loud or plosive sound sources.
- No internal active electronics to overload or produce distortion up to maximum SPL rating
- Extremely low residual noise
- Ribbon element is not affected by heat or humidity
