The Royer Labs R-122 MKII Ribbon Microphone Bundle with Shockmountsuses phantom power and founder David Royer's innovative microphone design to record natural and transparent electric guitars, acoustic guitars, electric bass, acoustic bass, drum overheads, brass, percussion, piano strings, woodwinds, Foley, and many other sources.

The microphone is similar to the company's R-121 ribbon microphone but has a faster transient response and a larger audio transformer for more open highs and a tighter more focused low-end response.

The MKII version of the original (introduced in 2002), incorporates a -15 dB pad and a switchable bass-cut filter. The switches are completely out of the circuit when disengaged. They are also recessed to prevent accidental activation.

The microphone's -15 dB pad is positioned before the unit's electronics and when engaged eliminates the potential for headroom-related distortion on even the loudest sources without imparting a sonic imprint on the material.

The microphone's bass cut starts filtering at 100 Hz at a rate of 6 dB per octave to effectively reduce the unit's bass buildup due to the proximity effect. The smooth filter is useful for vocals, acoustic instruments, and closed-miked electric guitars when less bottom end is desired.

The active electronics of the device are hand-wired in Burbank, CA with a specially designed toroidal transformer that delivers faster transient response than traditional ribbons. This makes the microphone useful for drum overheads, percussion, and all acoustic instruments.

A fully balanced handwired discrete head amplifier system uses the specially wound toroidal transformer and ultralow-noise FETs to bring the microphone's sensitivity to 36 dB while still allowing high-SPL recording without the introduction of self-noise. The phantom-powered circuitry provides impedance conversion to handle a wide variety of preamplifiers.

The microphone's proprietary offset ribbon transducer positions the ribbon element closer to the front (logo) side of the microphone to allow more room to move within the prime magnetic field while maintaining a full frequency response during high-SPL recordings.

Two Phantom-Powered Ribbon Mics    Two Nylon Cord Suspension Shockmounts    High Output, Impedance Matching    -15 dB Pad    High SPL Capabilities    No Distortion up to Maximum SPL Rating    Low Residual Noise    Ribbon Not Affected by Heat or Humidity    No High-Frequency Phase Distortion    Equal Front and Back Sensitivity

Uses a fully balanced discrete head amplifier system with a specially wound toroidal transformer to handle SPLs as high as 135 dB with a sensitivity of -36 dB

Balances the load on the ribbon at all times to deliver 100% of its full sonic potential regardless of the input characteristics of the connected preamp. This also allows the microphone to be used with long cable runs with minimal signal loss as well as ensure that the ribbon element won't be damaged by phantom power, miswired cables, or electrical glitches

Q: 1. Are there flat feet available for this item instead of casters?

A: No, the table only has casters made for it.This link is the instructions on how to put it together, http://bit.ly/1Om6EJz. You might be able to use it without the casters but it is designed to use them.

Q: 2. So per the MSDS sheet this stuff contains 60-100% of water. 1-5% of Isopropyl alcohol and 0.1% of Benzalkonium Chloride, Fragrance and colorant. How can this be killing germs if there is 100% water?

A: Please contact the maanufacturer for details: Goby Labs: Tel: (714) 522-8878 Email info@gobylabs.com

Q: 3. Is the table top easily removed from the base for transport?

A: The table top can be removed but I would not classify it as easy. The table top is secured with 4 screws. It was not designed to be repeatedly detached and attached. Doing so could damage the taps and cause the table to be unstable.

Q: 4. What material is the table top?

A: The top of the Impact Posing Table - 28-48" (71-122 cm) is plastic.

Q: 5. Can I use with an iphone12?k And can I plug in headphones for a monitor?

A: You would need an audio interface that is compatible with iOS devices to be able to use the Cascade Fat Head with an iPhone like BH #IKIPIRIGPROI for example.

Q: 6. Does this have a tripod mount, or is it handh-hold only?

A: Yes, the handles of the Saramonic VGM Stabilization, Mounting Rig, and Microphone Bundle have 1/4 20 mounting points for connecting to a tripod. The Phone holder in the kit can also be tripod mounted.

Q: 7. How is supposed to be used, do you spray it on and wipe it off, or just leave it?

A: You can spray it directly on and wipe it off. But I would suggest to be extra safe to spray it on a cloth and wipe down.

Q: 8. do I need to have 48v phantom power on to use my Fat Head mic ?

A: No you will be using the included transformer which supplies the necessary power to the microphone.

Q: 9. I utilize Zoom Room Video Conferencing for my training sessions. Is the Owl compatible and will it project the trainees in the room to the Zoom system so the online trainees can see and better hear the in class participants?

A: Yes, this will work with Zoom just fine.

Q: 10. Would this fit a Samsung Galaxy S8+?

A: The Moondog Labs Smartphone Hood (XL) BH #MOSHXL is made for phones that are more than 6" in height.
