Description
Royer R-122 MKII Matched Pair/SS1 is a matched-pair bundle based on two R-122 MKII active ribbon microphones with SS1-style suspension shockmount accessories. Royer describes the R-122 MKII as a phantom-powered active ribbon microphone with impedance-matching electronics, a switchable -15 dB pad and switchable bass-cut filter. With pad and filter disengaged, the MKII operates like the original R-122; the pad is placed before the electronics for high-SPL sources and the bass-cut filter starts at 100 Hz with a 6 dB/octave slope. Published R-122 MKII specifications include figure-8 polar pattern, 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon, rare-earth neodymium magnets, 30 Hz-15 kHz frequency response, active electronics and high-output operation. Public manufacturer pages did not expose a bundle GTIN or exact matched-pair MPN.
