Description
The SF-12 is a compact, stereophonic ribbon microphone array
consisting of two matched microphone elements that are placed
one above the other. Each transducer is positioned at 45º to the
left and right of center, or 90º from each other. When held
vertically, connector down and the“ROYER” logo facing the
sound source, the upper microphone is the right channel and the
lower one is the left channel, from the perspective of an observer
behind the mic. The microphone elements are each bi-directional
( figure-8 ) and may be addressed from either side with equal
sensitivity. The in-phase signals are achieved when the microphone
is addressed from the front, as indicated by the “ROYER” logo.
If, however, the microphone is suspended upside down, the
connections to the preamplifier should be reversed since what
was the left transducer is now responding to signals from the
right and vice versa.
