Royer's Ribbon Mics?

Forums

I have been hearing and reading ALOT about these Royer R121 and R-122 being used to get some awesome guitar tones. I haven't had the opportunity to use or hear one that I would know of. I'm really just wanting to get some feedback on these mics and hear what everyone has to say about them. Like, what u have used it on and what this mic has done for u.

your favourite squasher, squeezer, sounddestroyer

Hey all, I'm a bit curious. Which compressors (or other devices) are your favourites when it comes to totally smash drums etc and make them pump relly heavily and take a last breath of life :) Yeah, I'm talking compression as an effect, but not all of them sound cool used that way. I've found a few cool ones but I'm still looking for that ultimate sound-destruction-unit. Any favourites ?

Royer active vs passive, whats the difference?

I'm thinking about buying a Royer and a nice quiet pre to match but can't decide between the active phantom powered model or the passive model. Is there any differnce in sound between the two? I'd like to be able to use the Royer with more than just the best mic preamp for artistic purposes.

Tube Royer Ribbon Mic!

Forums

Yup. I saw it at NAMM. Uses a super duper tube that is out of print (Royer buys 'em for about $70 each). Mega specs, and I have forgotten all of them. It looked pretty cool, I mean warm, and damn, I forgot the model number too.

It's amazing how much you can see in 6 hours if you really try. And I had to schmooze some artists/endorsees too.
