About this item

  • THE ROYER MIC FOR EVERYONE, THE RIBBON FOR EVERYTHING: Basically, if you can think of an acoustic or electric sound source, the R-10 is just the right tool to capture it.
  • DAVID ROYER CUSTOM DESIGNED TRANSFORMER for high overload threshold, minimizing saturation at even extremely high sound pressure levels. You’ll never overload an R-10!
  • OPEN GRILL DESIGN minimizes standing waves and associated comb-filtering effects and its smooth frequency response, phase linearity and lack of self-distortion make it ideal for all digital recording and live sound formats.
  • ROYER'S PATENTED OFFSET RIBBON DESIGN like the rest of the R series, positioning the ribbon element toward the front of the transducer, which allows for high SPL handling on the front (logo) side and the option of a brighter response when recording lower SPL sound sources like acoustic guitar, ukulele and vocals on the backside.
  • RIBBON TRANSDUCER WIRED IN HUMBUCKING FOR LOW NOISE
  • FIGURE-8 POLAR PATTERN


The Royer R-10 is a passive mono ribbon microphone designed for use in the studio and on live stages. Hand-built in our Burbank California factory, R-10’s sound and performance are all-Royer! R-10 is exceptionally rugged, handling SPLs of up to 160 dB @ 1 kHz (!), and its compact size and mounting system allow for flexible, unobtrusive positioning. The R-10’s 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon element (same as in the legendary R-121) is formed with our patented direct-corrugation process, and is extremely well-protected by a 3-layer windscreen system and internally shock-mounted ribbon transducer. The R-10’s built-in windscreen provides superior protection from air blasts and plosives. It also reduces proximity effect (bass buildup from close miking) so guitar cabinets and acoustic instruments can be close-miked with less bass buildup. The internally shock-mounted ribbon transducer isolates the ribbon element from unwanted vibrations, increasing the ribbon element’s durability. The transducer is even wired for humbucking to reject electromagnetically induced noise!

This mic is great. High SPL, durable design and it's a Royer ribbon. We use it on guitar cabs mainly and haven't been disappointed.

It’s a kick ass ribbon. I love it on whatever I use it on. Shaves off that crackly high end just like you need.Like an old gf that still likes you enough to invite you over late. Familiar, comfortable and easy. This one won’t start asking about daylight activities at some unfortunate point.It’s a little pricey, sure. I’d put this over any condenser mic in its price range. It’s just more sophisticated, for a lack of a better term. It’s a dual side address, cardioid pattern: so backside reflected sound is important. There is no switch to switch patterns. It’s kinda a little off putting initially, but I keep going to it and find myself mixing it in more and louder than other mics. It FEELS great and looks great too. The mic “clip” is a great design. The mic threads into the mic holder which threads onto a standard mic stand. The adjustment screws on the mic holder are solid, heavy and feel very high quality. Won’t give future problems me thinks.

Been using this primarily for female vocals with great success. Very versatile and well built. No worries about delicate handling. Royer is a great made-in-USA company. I'll be buying more.
