Ribbon Microphone
R1A from the Premier line by Golden Age Project is an excellent high-quality ribbon microphone with vintage-style sonics, featuring active electronics and high-end components. R1A delivers the musical and natural sound that characterized some classic microphones of the past such as RCA 44 and 77 – some specimens are still being used today for high-quality recordings even 80 years later, plus fast and realistic transient reproduction and a surprising sense of "presence". Additionally, R1A's active circuit considerably increases the output level, making it ideal for capturing delicate-sounding sources without the need for special high-gain microphone preamplifiers. One of the factors that typically affects the sound of passive ribbon microphones is the input impedance of the microphone preamplifier to which they are connected. The special buffer in R1A's active output circuit ensures consistently maximum performance in any situation. R1A is perfect for recording most sound sources such as vocals, acoustic instruments, strings, horns, orchestras and choirs.
