RoyerR-10/dBooster Bundle

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Royer pairs the compact R-10 ribbon microphone with its dBooster inline signal booster for studio and live use. The R-10’s 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon, figure-8 pattern, internal shock mounting, and three-layer windscreen system are built into a package suited to close-miking guitar cabinets and acoustic instruments. Its custom David Royer transformer is specified for a high overload threshold, while the dBooster adds a selectable 12dB or 20dB of gain through a Class-A input stage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Close-miking guitar cabinets or acoustic instruments with the R-10’s protected ribbon transducer.
- Studio and live setups that need selectable 12dB or 20dB inline gain.
- Using the dBooster with ribbon or dynamic microphones over longer cable runs.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- A complete stand-and-cable setup; neither a stand nor cable is included.
- Use without phantom power when operating the included dBooster.
