Passive mono ribbon design
Each R-10 is a passive, single-channel ribbon microphone.

Independent shopping perspective
Royer’s R-10 matched pair brings two passive mono ribbon microphones to studio and live setups. Each uses a 2.5-micron ribbon element, a David Royer-designed transformer, humbucking wiring for rejection of electromagnetically induced noise, and an internally shock-mounted transducer behind a three-layer windscreen. The pair is positioned for electric guitar, brass, percussion, drum placements, and stringed instruments where a ribbon microphone is wanted. The R-10 also accommodates additional high-frequency EQ when needed.
