Golden Age Project R1 MKII Ribbon Microphone

The Golden Age Project R1 MKII is a vintage-style passive ribbon microphone that, like the classics that inspired it, finesses voices and instruments with its naturally smooth, sweet, and velvety sound. Vocals and choral groups sound amazing through the R1 MKII. It's a revelation on electric guitar €" and unlike vintage ribbons, it features 160dB SPL handling, so it won't self-destruct when placed in front of a cranked high-gain amp or a kick drum. The R1 MKII also excels on orchestral percussion, strings, and brass. And it's great at taming sources such as horns, banjo, and cymbals that can sound shrill with the wrong mic. At GearNuts, we love our ribbon mics. Add the value-packed Golden Age R1 MKII to your mic locker, and you will, too.
