Royer's President and co-founder Rick Perrotta takes you on a tour of their factory, providing a glimpse of every important stage of the manufacturing process, explaining how ribbon microphones are made.

Grammy-winning Classical Engineer Robert Friedrich gives us an in-depth look at the recording techniques used when recording "The Carnival Of The Animals" with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra. Friedrich relied heavily on ribbon microphones to achieve the desired sound quality.

I wonder how the Royer SF-24 active stereo ribbon would compare to the passive Royer SF-12 run through FetHead or Cloudlifter impedance matching preamps?

Does anybody have experience of comparing first hand? Is SF-24 quieter? Better sounding? Or maybe not?

Comments very much appreciated!

So Royer wanted a part of the semi-pro and home studio market.

Front of House Engineer Jimbo Neal takes us behind the scenes with the Brian Setzer Orchestra, showing how he uses Royer and Mojave Audio microphones to get Brian's live sounds.

Has any of you compared the Royer's 121 or 122 to the RODE NTR ?

Love this Video and R-122. Cello sounds great and the info in here is worth watching.

In case you haven't heard Royer is having a factory rebate through September 30th. Pretty nice deal if you are in the market for a ribbon mic. $75 off an R-101, $100 off an 121, $125 off 122 and $200 of an R-122v. I think it's per mic if you by a matched pair. They have a rebate form to fill out on their website. Thinking about picking up an R-101...
