The active R1 MKIII ribbon microphone is very cool and unites the best of two worlds: the warmth of a ribbon and stability of a buffer FET amplifier. This means that it is It is possible to use the R1 MKIII with long cables and almost any preamp with 48V Phantom power. A sound clean and clear, but warm and punchy is what the R1 MKIII active will provide in many cases. We like the battery, like ambient microphone or pair for O.H shots, but it sounds good with most tools. The MK1 active R1 is in actually a very versatile microphone also suitable for delicate voice recordings. And even more now that the MKIII version includes switches for cutting the low and pad 10dB.
