the most of your microphone’s superior acoustic properties.
This operator’s manual is a handy reference guide and we sug-
gest you refer to it whenever questions arise about the use and
care of your R-122 active ribbon microphone.
Active Ribbon Technology
The heart of the R-122 (and all Royer Active Series micro-
phones) is a proprietary system consisting of a specially
designed toroidal transformer and electronic buffering stage.
These work together as a single unit to provide excellent fre-
quency response, very low noise, very low distortion and very
high SPL handling without the use of pads. The system gives
the R-122 an output level comparable to that of condenser
microphones, and its buffer stage provides a low impedance
output
and presents a perfect impedance load to the ribbon ele-
ment. Unpowered ribbon microphones suffer substantially
degraded frequency response and lowered gain when they are
paired to a preamp with too low an input impedance. With the
R-122’s active circuit, the microphone’s frequency response
and output are not effected by variations in the input impedance
of the following preamp.
Sonically the R-122 differs from the unpowered R-121 in a few
subtle ways. Due to the extra iron in the R-122’s much larger
transformer, low-end frequencies sound slightly tighter and
more focused. The transient response of the R-122 is faster, and
its high-end frequency response is slightly extended.
Key points:
No longer is it necessary to mate a ribbon microphone to an
ultra-high gain, low noise preamplifier for optimum perform-
ance. Any preamplifier of nominal gain will provide good
results with the R-122.
No longer is it necessary to carefully consider impedance
