Royer Labs was formed in 1998 to bring David Royer's unique, modern ribbon microphone designs to the world. When the California based company first opened doors, ribbon mics had been largely forgotten, but the R-121 and SF-12 quickly captured the imagination of recording enthusiasts around the world. This new generation of ribbon microphones proved to be a perfect match to the rise in popularity of digital recording, as engineers rediscovered the warmth, analog feel and smooth sound of ribbons. Today Royer Labs provides a comprehensive range of ribbon microphones for recording, live, and other professional applications, which are popular in recording studios and on stages all around the globe.
