RNR1 – Technical Information
Rupert Neve’s new custom circuit design now allows high frequencies to be captured
and output from the capsule for the first time ever in pristine detail. Standard perfor-
mance of the RNR1 is an unprecedented 20Hz to 25KHz – three times the frequency
range of even the best available competitor ribbon mics on the market today!
More than this, Mr Neve’s hand-wound custom input and output transformers create
huge amounts of headroom and effectively lower the noise levels by using gain stages
to amplify the signal. The slight dip in the frequency response from 16-25KHz in the
RNR1 can therefore be effectively flattened if required, producing an almost perfectly
flat response, way beyond what human ears can perceive. This is crucial in making the
RNR1 by far the best performing ribbon mic in the world today.
