Members Amigo Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 the R-121 or the R-122? I will be using it primarily on electric guitar. I'm not getting the tone I want with a 57 or e609. It seams rather brash and thin to me on playback. May also use it for snare, percussion and acoustic. Which would be better suited. I am leaning towards the r-122 thanks Amigo.

Phil O'Keefe Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 The preamp(s) you plan to use the microphone with will probably determine which would be a better choice for you. If you already have a good preamp that is capable of giving you 60-70dB of clean gain, you can save some money by going with the 121. If you don't, you'll probably appreciate the extra 14dB (IIRC) of output from the active 122. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Great Waldo Pepper Posted June 6, 2010 Members Share Posted June 6, 2010 The 121 was the best money I've ever spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members temnov Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 I used Royer SF-12 for jazz drums overheads, violin, piano and vocal. Very natural and great sound, love it. Used it with AEA TRP pre-amp where gain is 85 dB. This pre-amp is designed for use with ribbon mikes. Another great preamp is Grace M101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
