The Royer R-10-MP is a matched pair of passive ribbon microphones designed to deliver smooth, full-range frequency reproduction and high SPL handling for musicians, recording engineers, and live sound mixers in home studios, recording facilities, and live stage applications. Handbuilt in California, each mic features a high maximum SPL of 135 dB at 50 Hz and 160 dB at 1 kHz, and a wide, unhyped frequency response of 30 Hz to 15 kHz. The R-10 utilizes a standard XLR 3-pin output and does not require phantom power.

Its figure-8 polar pattern allows pickup of sounds from the front and back of the mic, while maximizing sound rejection from both sides. This provides a directional focus in front of the microphone and allows room reflections behind the mic to be captured. The 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon element is protected from vibrations via an internal shockmount. A three-layer windscreen system tames plosives, strong bursts of air, and proximity-induced bass buildup. The wiring of the ribbon results in humbucking, which aids in preventing noise produced through electromagnetic interference.

The R-10-MP ships with two microphone holders, two mic socks, and a carrying case.

Q: 7. Can this be used to clean sticky residue from tapes on the lavs?

A: The Goby Labs Sanitizer Spray for Microphones would not be recommended to remove adhesive residue from lavaliers or other audio cables, as it is designed primarily for sanitization. Products such as "Goo Gone", which are typically found in hardware stores, can serve the purpose of adhesive removal well.

Q: 8. Hello friends, in the samson site the C02 are described as Supercardioid mics, and here you described them as Cardioid. Can you confirm the polar pattern?

A: Thank you for bringing this error to oour attention. Samson lists these as having a supercardioid pattern:Pencil Condenser MicrophonesFeatures: SuperCardioid Pickup Pattern Gold-plated XLR connectors Carry Case & shock-mounted mic clips included Sold as stereo pair

Q: 9. Is this compatible with the Studio x70?

A: No, the Poly Trio 8500 Expansion Microphones (Pair) is made only specifically for the Poly RealPresence Trio 8800, and will not work with the Poly Studio X70.

Q: 10. Is it possible to change the capsules to put some with other polar patterns?

A: I was a little surprised to find that the C02 does indeed have a modular capsule design, and it would suggest this intent. However, Samson does not appear to make or sell any other capsules that would fit (at this time). Perhaps they will in the future.
