Royer Nickel Roy-Sf24v
Royer Labs' SF-24V vacuum tube stereo ribbon microphone features a lush, natural sound pickup with outstanding stereo imaging and transient response. The tube electronics provide increased midrange reach, great clarity and detail, and an airiness previously unheard of in ribbon mics.The SF-24V's independent tube circuits provide an output level of -38 dB, suitable for use with any professional preamplifier. With a self-noise lower than 18 dB, the SF-24V's ultra-quiet operation is suitable for demanding classical and acoustic recording applications.Like an SF-12, the SF-24V is actually two matched ribbon microphones, placed one above the other in a coincident pair, each aimed 45 degrees from center in the classic Blumlein configuration. The magnet/pole piece structure of each ribbon transducer delivers a wide, uniform frequency response with no substantial peaks or dips, and the 1.8-micron ribbons produce superb transient response. Frequency response is excellent regardless of the angle of sound striking the ribbons and off-axis coloration is negligible.The ElectronicsThe SF-24V's twin head amplifiers consist of low-noise, triode-connected military grade 5840 vacuum tubes. Designed for a wide range of applications, the SF-24V delivers -38 dB output and the drive capabilities only vacuum tube head amplifiers can provide. The circuits are devoid of typical vacuum tube coloration.The SF-24V's triode-configured cathode follower circuitry enables the microphone to drive long cable runs without sonic degradation or high-frequency loss. This capability is further enhanced by the SF-24V's dedicated power supply, which provides ample current to the vacuum tube electronics. Induced noise is virtually eliminated by the microphone's fully balanced outputs, which are electrically isolated with special purpose Jensen output transformers.The SF-24V has far more level than non-powered ribbon microphones and its impedance matching circuitry places a perfect load on the ribbon element at all times. This allows the use of a wide variety of mic preamps without concern for gain and impedance matches, two critical issues with ribbon microphones. In addition, the microphone’s electronics shield the ribbon elements from any possibility of damage by phantom power, electrical glitches or miswired cables.It is important to note that the SF-24V's higher sensitivity creates no additional self-noise. All of the SF-24V's increased level comes from its large, specially wound toroidal transformers, so there is no additional noise associated with the microphone's higher output. The tube system operates at less than unity, adding no noise of its own.RecordingThe SF-24V excels on full orchestra, choir and ensembles, classical piano, drum overheads, virtually all acoustic instruments, small vocal groups, a wide variety of percussion instruments, as a room mic, etc.Like the SF-12, the SF-24V is uncanny for creating "you-are-there" stereo recordings that capture not only the instrument(s) being recorded, but, depending on how the microphone is positioned, varying degrees of the acoustical space. In addition, the increased sensitivity & impedance matching circuitry allows for more consistent results in a variety of recording situations & with a wider selection of mic pre-amps.Recording in MonoFor mono recording, phase compatibility between the two sides of the SF-24V is excellent, allowing you to combine the two channels perfectly in mono with no phase artifacts. This is particularly useful when capturing a wide sound field in mono; for instance, a singer who tends to move off the "sweet spot" of a mono microphone. Each side of the SF-24V can also be used as an independent mono microphone.Features:Vacuum tube circuitry provides high output and impedance matchingTrue stereophonic (Blumlein and M-S) recording from one coincident microphoneHigh SPL capabilitiesNo distortion up to maximum SPL ratingExtremely low residual noiseRibbon elements are not affected by heat or humidityAbsence of high frequency phase distortionEqual sensitivity from front or back of elementsConsistent frequency response regardless of distanceHigh efficiency, matching toroidal transformersVery low magnetic leakageSpecifications:Acoustic Operating Principle: Electrodynamic pressure gradient with vacuum tube electronics.Vacuum Tube: JAN mil-spec 5840W pentode wired in triode configurationPolar Pattern: Crossed figure-8'sGenerating Element: 1.8-micron aluminum ribbonFrequency Response: 40-15,000 Hz +/- 2dBSensitivity: -38 dB (re. 1v/pa +/-1dB)Self-Noise:130dBMicrophone Output Connector: Male XLR 5 pin (stereo*)Power Supply Output Connectors: Two Male XLR-3 pinPower Requirements: Plate supply: 135 VDC @2ma, Filament supply: 6 VDC@ 150ma from dedicated power supply.Supply Current: 4 mA per channelMicrophone Dimensions: 270 mm x 39 mm (base) x 25 mm (top) (10-5/8" x 1.5" x 1")Weight: 583 grams (20.5 oz.)
