HF Ribbon Mic

The SE Electronics Rupert Neve RNR1 delivers a leap in technology… The world’s first HF Ribbon mic

Rupert Neve’s new custom circuit design now allows high frequencies to be captured and output from the capsule for the first time ever in pristine detail. Standard performance of the RNR1 is an unprecedented 20Hz to 25KHz – three times the frequency range of even the best available competitor ribbon mics on the market today! More than this, Mr Neve’s hand-wound custom input and output transformers create huge amounts of headroom and effectively lower the noise levels by using gain stages to amplify the signal. The slight dip in the frequency response from 16-25KHz in the RNR1 can therefore be effectively flattened if required, producing an almost perfectly flat response, way beyond what human ears can perceive. This is crucial in making the RNR1 by far the best performing ribbon mic in the world today.

The RNR1’s faithful reproduction of fine harmonic material across the frequency spectrum results in the unparalleled capturing of real sound. Indeed its ability to capture modulation from infinite harmonic frequencies normally masked on any recording assures its revolutionary status and exemplary reputation. The mics look beautiful, the packaging is second to none, and their performance will set new standards in the high-end microphone market.
