The Golden Age R1 Active MKIII Ribbon Microphone is an active ribbon microphone, featuring a figure 8 polar pattern, a frequency response of 30 Hz - 18 kHz, an impedance of 200 Ohm, and a 10dB pad. The R1 Active MKIII combines the warmth of a ribbon and the stability of a F.E.T. buffer ampilifier.
This means that you can use the R1 Active MKIII with long cables and virtually any pre-amp featuring 48V phantom power. A clean and clear yet warm and punchy sound is what the R1 Active MKIII delivers. The R1 Active MKIII is a versatile microphone suitable for sensitive vocal recording. The MKIII version now includes switches for low cut and a 10dB pad.
The main features of the Golden Age R1 Active MKIII Ribbon Microphone include:
Wonderfully warm active ribbon mics at a price tag that’s ridiculously little. Great build quality. One small issue is the included padded bags. They’re not quite large enough and I suspect the tightness could easily break the filter and pad switches.
