Musicians, recording engineers, and live sound mixers looking for the smooth sound of a classic ribbon microphone will be thrilled with the Royer Matched Pair of R-10 Ribbon Microphones with dBooster2 Bundle, a custom pack which combines two R-10 passive ribbon microphones and a stereo dBooster2 inline signal booster.

The Royer R-10-MP is a matched pair of passive ribbon microphones designed to deliver smooth, full-range frequency reproduction and high SPL handling for musicians, recording engineers, and live sound mixers in home studios, recording facilities, and live stage applications. Handbuilt in California, each mic features a high maximum SPL of 135 dB at 50 Hz and 160 dB at 1 kHz, and a wide, unhyped frequency response of 30 Hz to 15 kHz. The R-10 utilizes a standard XLR 3-pin output and does not require phantom power.

Its figure-8 polar pattern allows pickup of sounds from the front and back of the mic, while maximizing sound rejection from both sides. This provides a directional focus in front of the microphone and allows room reflections behind the mic to be captured. The 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon element is protected from vibrations via an internal shockmount. A three-layer windscreen system tames plosives, strong bursts of air, and proximity-induced bass buildup. The wiring of the ribbon results in humbucking, which aids in preventing noise produced through electromagnetic interference.

Purpose-built for transparently raising gain before your mic preamps, the Royer R-DB22 dBooster2 provides two independent channels that can serve as signal boosters for ribbon/dynamic microphones or quality DIs for Hi-Z instruments such as electric guitar or bass. With Class-A input circuitry and switchable gain boost—up to +20 dB in mic mode or up to +8 dB in Hi-Z mode—the dBooster2 delivers increased headroom at your mic pre without inducing distortion or noise.

The sturdy, road-ready enclosure houses two locking combo inputs and two balanced XLR mic-level outputs. Even though the dBooster2 runs on 48V phantom power, the phantom power is blocked from the inputs, making it safe to use with all ribbon mics. The low-impedance output can handle challenging loads and drive long cable runs without compromising sonic performance.
