The R-121 Live is a ruggedised version of the R-121 ribbon microphone. The R-121 Live’s output level is comparable to a dynamic microphone. The R-121 Live is visually differentiated by its red logo. The ribbon element thickness is increased from 2.5 microns to 4-microns, giving the microphone greater durability and a slightly reduced high end response. The R-121 Live’s pickup pattern is figure-8, which can be used to control stage bleed with great effect. Side rejection in the null points is strong. The R-121 Live’s proprietary offset ribbon transducer positions the ribbon element closer to the front (logo) side of the microphone. This arrangement gives the ribbon more room to move within the prime magnetic field while maintaining full frequency response on high SPL applications.
