SE Electronics - RNR1

Micro tape designed and manufactured by Mr Rupert Neve and sE Electronics.
For many years, ribbon microphones were used by sound engineers for their extremely natural reproduction of the sound source. The sound reproduction differs from condenser microphones, which in comparison will have a sound very "up front", more colorful and have fewer harmonic depth that a good ribbon mic.

Even on high-end microphones, loss of frequency response in the treble, depending on the model, from 7 to 10 kHz, has always been a major drawback which is why capacitor microphones dominate the studios mics market .

Traditionally, sound engineers using ribbon microphones, although very expensive, had to accept limitations or pair it with a condenser mic to capture high frequencies.
These compromises have meant that ribbon microphones have never been widely accepted or used in 1st choice in a recording studio.
With RNR1, all this is over!

The new circuit designed by Mr. Neve captures the high frequency with a very high level of detail, until 25kHz, or 3 times the bandwidth of a classic ribbon microphone. In addition, input and output transformers designed by Mr. Neve and wound by hand provides enormous headroom and reduce the noise level. The faithful reproduction of harmonics over the entire bandwidth can really capture the "real" sound of the source, which makes micro RNR1 revolutionary status and exemplary reputation.
