The R2 MKII's traditional mellow ribbon sound, velvety top end, fast transient response, and 137dB SPL handling makes it a good choice for louder sources that can tend towards shrillness, such as electric guitar, banjo, or brass instruments. Its ribbon and magnet assembly is internally shock mounted, which cuts down on handling noise and structure-borne rumble. With its budget-friendly price tag, the Golden Age R2 MKII is an outstanding value. It's the affordable ribbon mic you've been waiting for.

Pick up a pair from Sweetwater today!The Golden Age Project The Golden Age Project was founded in 2005 on the belief that vintage gear sounds best, and the desire to pass on this sonic legacy to a new generation of musicians, engineers, and producers. All discrete, Class A signal paths with no integrated circuits; the use of transformers, stepped controls, and military-grade build quality: these are the cornerstones of the legendary British equipment deployed in world-class recording and broadcast studios in the 1970s — the Golden Age of analog. Fat, warm, punchy, and authoritative; this is the sound heard on countless hits for nigh unto half a century. Locating, purchasing, restoring, and maintaining vintage gear is time-consuming and costly. Fortunately, this small, family-owned Swedish company makes gear the same way it was made back in the day — at an amazingly gentle price. A distributor of high-end studio equipment for many years, Golden Age Project founder Bo Medin wanted to be able to offer products with much of the same exclusive sound in a price range that made them available to a larger audience. Inspired by original designs, Golden Age uses modern technology to re-create that lush, opulent sound, making it surprisingly affordable. They use some modern ingenuity to add new functionality to superb classic designs and produce them in a cost-effective way which allows them to be both optimized and affordable. From outboard equipment to condenser, dynamic, and ribbon mics; you can outfit your entire studio with vintage-inspired Golden Age gear without exceeding your budget.Golden Age R2 MKII Ribbon Microphone Features: Offers the natural and musical sound of vintage ribbon microphones Classic, mellow ribbon sound with smooth, creamy highs and extended low end 42mm, 2.5-micron aluminum foil ribbon element Fast, life-like transient response Figure-8 polar pattern with wide sweet spots front and rear; excellent side rejection Ribbon and magnet assembly internally shock mounted May be used with any standard mixer or preamp (preferably with balanced input) Frequency response: 30Hz–18kHz 137dB SPL capability (1% THD @ 1000Hz) THD: < 1% Impedance: 250 ohms Load Impedance: 1.2k ohms Sensitivity: -50dB at 1kHz Output connector: 3-pin XLR SpecificationDetail Microphone Type Ribbon Ribbon Type 42mm, 2.5-micron Aluminum Mono/Stereo Mono Polar Pattern Figure-8 Frequency Response 30Hz-18kHz Max SPL 137dB SPL (1kHz at Output Impedance 250 ohms Sensitivity -50 dBV/Pa Connector XLR Weight 0.77 lbs.
