The Silent Sister SS-1 recording isolation speaker cabinet by Rivera attacks one of the greatest challenges for musicians: how to get an amplified guitar tone at a low level! This cabinet relieves air pressure through a built in air labyrinth in the back side of the cabinet which attenuates the sound level while relieving the sealed compartment air pressure drawbacks. The panels inside the SilentSister are designed to relieve standing waves and reflections. The cabinet has two pre-wired microphone goose necks to allow for mic placement, handles and wheels for easy transportation, and two Neutrik XLR connectors on the back for signal connection. This isolation cabinet is designed for home and studio recording as well as live performances. Please contact our knowledgeable staff here at SoundPure with all your questions and orders! 919.682.5552 or 888.528.9703

Description:

Following in the footsteps of our flagship R-121, the R-101 is a mono, passive ribbon microphone utilizing our patented offset-ribbon transducer and a 2.5-micron ribbon element. The R-101 is hand-built in our Burbank, CA facility and delivered at a price point suitable for home studio use and live applications.


The R-101 is a new breed of modern ribbon microphone, designed for studio work and demanding live applications (particularly live electric guitar and brass). It incorporates many features pioneered by Royer Labs, including an advanced multi-layered wind screen for superior protection from air blasts and plosives, our patented offset-ribbon transducer, an internally shock mounted ribbon transducer system which provides greater isolation from shocks and vibrations, and reduced proximity effect for closer miking with less bass buildup. Throw it on a guitar cabinet, hit record, play it back, smile.


The ribbon element's smooth frequency response and phase linearity impart a warm, analog feel to digital recordings, where the depth and realism on playback feels more like tape rolling than digits being computed. A perfect choice for electric guitars, brass instruments and drums, the R-101's figure-8 pattern also conveys superb ambience and depth when used for room miking applications.


Patented Offset Ribbon Technology 
The R-101 incorporates Royer's patented offset-ribbon technology and a low mass, 2.5-micron aluminum (99.9% pure) ribbon element. The ribbon transducer's flux-frame and rare earth Neodymium magnets create a powerful magnetic field which increases sensitivity while reducing stray magnetic radiation.


The R-101's offset-ribbon transducer (Patent # 6,434,252) positions the ribbon element towards the front (logo) side of the microphone body. This proprietary arrangement gives the ribbon element more room to move within the prime magnetic field and maintain full frequency response during high SPL recordings. It's an integral part of the magic in all Royer R-series microphones.


The offset-ribbon transducer also gives you the option of a brighter response when recording lower SPL sound sources on the back side (3 feet and closer; phase reversed in this position). The back side of the mic is often preferred on vocals, acoustic guitars and other stringed instruments.


The Warranty: 
Like all Royer mics, the R-101 comes with a lifetime warranty to the original owner and the first re-ribbon is free.
