The nature of their performance differs greatly from condenser mics, which by comparison sound very 'up front' and lack the harmonic depth of a good ribbon.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEven at the high end of the market, the customary roll-off of almost all the top end frequencies has always been a major drawback. The frustration with all ribbons is - depending on the model - little or no performance past 7-10KHz, which is why condenser mics dominate the recording market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe traditional appeal of the condenser then has been the assumption of consistent frequency response from 20Hz to 20KHz. The pay-off of course is that these mics require a certain degree of circuit board magic to achieve this, since the taughtness of the diaphragm - compared with relatively slack ribbon membranes - means condensers tend to be more 'coloured' in their sound.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTraditionally engineers using ribbons, however expensive, have had to accept their significant limitations or have had to augment the recording with a condenser mic to capture the high frequency absent from the ribbon output.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSuch compromises have meant that ribbons have never been very widely accepted or used as a first choice for recording.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcoustic Operating Principle: Electrodynamic pressure gradient with active electronics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGenerating Element: 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePolar Pattern: Figure 8\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20Hz - 25KHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSensitivity: -32 dB (referenced 1v\/pa ±1dB)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEquivalent Noise Level: 15dB (A weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: 200 Ohms balanced\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRated Load Impedance: 1000 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMax SPL: \u0026gt;135dB\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnector: Male XLR 3 pin (Pin 2 Hot)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"manufacturer-site\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor more information, please visit the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.seelectronics.com\/se-rnr1-rupert-neve-mic\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emanufacturer's website\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"sE Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41442194063418,"sku":"SEE-RNR1","price":3099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1764\/4443\/files\/se-electronics-rupert-neve-r1-high-frequency-active-ribbon-microphone-see-rnr1-gsus4-9933823.jpg?v=1780648473","url":"https:\/\/gsus4.com.au\/products\/se-electronics-rupert-neve-r1-high-frequency-active-ribbon-microphone","provider":"Gsus4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
