VR1 – Technical Information

The Voodoo Ribbons from sE are new for 2010 and mark a new era for Ribbon mic technology –

until now the only Ribbon mic in the world to perform across 20Hz-20KHz was our own Rupert

Neve collaboration, the RNR1, critically acclaimed as the best Ribbon mic in the world. This was

achieved using state of the art transformers and a Rupert Neve designed circuit board to reveal HF

usually absent.
The Voodoo mics however achieve full frequency response using a new mechanical device (patent

pending), designed by Siwei Zou, the company CEO. This extraordinary technical achievement

allows the traditional Ribbon capsule to develop and capture frequencies from 20Hz to 20KHz like

no other Ribbon on the planet.

The sound is revolutionary; where the RNR1 is simply a stunning mic in its own class entirely, the

Voodoo range brings traditional ribbon sound to the project and commercial studio, but extends

it to perform as well as most condensers do. The result is superbly detailed and wonderfully open

and natural sounding recordings of acoustic instruments and guitar cabs.
These mics’ unique ability to perform, coupled with searingly good looks, is sure to make the VR1

and VR2 classics of their time.
