Royer SF-1 Monaural Ribbon Microphone description:
The SF-1 is an ultra- compact, monaural ribbon microphone, exhibiting flat frequency response and a well-balanced, panoramic soundfield. It is a highly versatile microphone. A studio and Broadcast standard for recording Choir, Orchestra, String Sections, Overhead and Distance miking, Brass Instruments - Horn Sections, Woodwinds, flute and other reed instruments, Acoustic Piano, Harp, Violin, cello and other stringed instruments, Percussion Instruments, Acoustic Guitar, Mandolin, Banjo, Ambience and Echo Chamber return. The SF-1 has superb transient response due to its ultra low-mass 1.8 - micron ribb on assembly. Frequency response is excellent regardless of the angle of sound striking the ribbon, and off-axis coloration is negligible.
The heart of the SF-1 is it's ribbon transducer proprietary cross-field motor assembly. Comprised of four powerful Neodymium magnets and Permendur iron pole-pieces, the cross-field design assures the shortest front-to-rear ribbon path length for best high frequency response. The case is fashioned from ingot iron and forms the magnetic return circuit, an effective system with low leakage flux which accounts for the relatively high sensitivity in a trim package.
Features:
- No internal active electronics to overload or produce distortion up to maximum SPL rating.
- Extremely low residual noise
- Ribbon element not affected by heat or humidity
- Absence of high frequency phase distortion
