Superlux R102 Aluminum Ribbon Microphone

The R102 is an active aluminium ribbon microphone designed for the recording studio. The features the high sensitivity of a condenser microphone yet exhibits the smoother frequency response and excellent transient response of a ribbon microphone. The speed response of a ribbon mic is optimal among all types of microphones.

The R102 active aluminium ribbon microphone consists of two parts: an electro-magnetic transducer and an impedance converting circuit. The electromagnetic transducer applies a unique magnetic circuit field with a strong Nd magnet. The aluminium alloy ribbon, with a thickness of only 2.5 microns, is suspended between 2 poles and vibrates in synchrony with the incoming acoustical energy (soundwaves). Due to the extremely low mass of the ribbon, the transducer of this microphone boasts a premium transient response in converting acoustic energy into electronic signals. Whether at low/high frequencies or low/high sound pressure levels, the R102 delivers a precise reproduction of the original sound.

Please note: This item requires 48v phantom power to function.

Superlux R102 Aluminum Ribbon Microphone

By: on 8 February 2022
The mic sounds as good as everyone says it does, so I won't bore you with those details. Mostly I was impressed with just how sturdy and well built it is for such a cheap price, and all the included accessories. More than that though, Artist Guitars provided exceptional customer service when I asked them about the cradle and if it can be locked in place at the mic stand and not rotate. Short answer is no. But they went into a lot of detail for me, which I appreciated. Truth be told this is not a problem for 99% of the ways I'll use this mic. This mic is an absolute bargain and Artist are great to deal with. Happy customer.

Great silky ribbon mic for a fraction of the cost of most others.Phantom powered means no low gain issues as is common in passive ribbons.A true smooth lil ripper!

Super happy with this mic - I recorded acoustic guitar & vocal together, then recorded a tele through a Fender Hot Rod DeLuxe - we used a Shure 57 up close + the Ribbon mic a few feet from the amp. Last test recording was in vocals - beautiful result - crystal clear clarity, warm tone, super clean. I highly recommend this mic It’s sturdy & the price is under $200
