The Golden Age R2 MKII Ribbon Microphone is a passive ribbon microphone that delivers smooth, warm, vintage-inspired tone. It's perfect for studios and musicians looking to add classic ribbon character to guitars, drums, brass, acoustic instruments, and vocals.

The Golden Age R2 MKII Ribbon Microphone delivers the rich, smooth character of a classic passive ribbon microphone with modern reliability and performance. Its figure-8 polar pattern, fast transient response, and natural high-frequency roll-off make it an outstanding choice for taming bright or harsh sources while capturing full-bodied, detailed recordings. With a high SPL handling capability of 137 dB, it's equally at home on loud guitar cabinets, brass, drum overheads, acoustic instruments, and even vocals. Built with an internally shock-mounted ribbon assembly and supplied with a metal shock mount, the R2 MKII is designed for dependable studio use while preserving the warm, vintage-inspired ribbon sound engineers love. Whether you're expanding your mic locker or looking for an affordable entry into the world of ribbon microphones, the R2 MKII delivers impressive realism, depth, and musicality well beyond its price point.
