Released in 1998, the R-121 was the first radically different modern ribbon microphone, singlehandedly creating the great ribbon microphone resurgence that is still growing and going strong today. The R-121 is a staple on electric guitars around the world and is also one of the finest brass mics available, along with drum rooms, kick drums, piano, snare drum, acoustic guitar, violin, all percussion, harp, cello… the list goes on and on. To record an instrument as naturally as possible an R-121 is the perfect solution.

The R-121 Distressed Rose is one of the coolest looking and best sounding mics, both for daily use, so as a collector's item.
