Additionally, the R1 ST ships with a shockmount, soft case, and protective hard case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descriptionAsTitle_LRRtSDQ8YlWH-emvPXLFQ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\"\u003eTwo vintage-style ribbon microphone sections with transformer-balanced outputs in a classic Blumlein (crossed figure-8) configuration\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descriptionAsTitle_LRRtSDQ8YlWH-emvPXLFQ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\"\u003eRecord in stereo or use either side of the R1 ST for mono miking\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descriptionAsTitle_LRRtSDQ8YlWH-emvPXLFQ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\"\u003eInspired by classic ribbon mics such as the RCA 44 and RCA 77\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descriptionAsTitle_LRRtSDQ8YlWH-emvPXLFQ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\"\u003eWell suited for use on vocals, acoustic guitars, strings, horns, orchestras, and more\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descriptionAsTitle_LRRtSDQ8YlWH-emvPXLFQ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\"\u003e160 dB maximum SPL handles loud sound sources such as drums and high-wattage amplifiers\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descriptionAsTitle_LRRtSDQ8YlWH-emvPXLFQ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\"\u003eDetachable microphone cable and splitter box allow left and right outputs on separate cables\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descriptionAsTitle_LRRtSDQ8YlWH-emvPXLFQ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\"\u003eIncludes shockmount and two transport cases, one hard and one soft\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Golden Age Project","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31845971525711,"sku":"R1ST","price":949.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/products\/1526390483_1408273.jpg?v=1583953708"},{"product_id":"golden-age-project-r1a-premier-active-ribbon-microphone","title":"Golden Age Project R1A PREMIER Active Ribbon Microphone","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe R1A is a unique microphone since it is a high quality and low cost vintage style ribbon microphone with active electronics using high end components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unmatched natural and musical sound of the R1A ribbon microphone combined with a discrete amplifier (no integrated circuits used), powered by standard 48V phantom power, that isolates the ribbon and the gain make-up transformer from the outside world.

On top of that, the active circuitry raises the output level considerably to be similar to that of many condenser microphones. This has the good effect that one does not need special high gain microphone preamps when using the R1A on quiet sound sources. It also makes the R1A able to drive long microphone cables without any problems and insures that the sound is consistent with different preamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOne of the factors that usually changes the sound of passive ribbon microphones is the input impedance of the following microphone preamp. The active output circuitry in the R1A buffers the ribbon and the gain make-up transformer from the outside world and the result is that the R1A will consistently give you maximum performance in any situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe R1A is very well suited for the recording of most sound sources like vocals, acoustic instruments, strings, horns, orchestras and choral groups and many live sound applications.
