plucked-string instruments, from violas to
lutes to dulcimers. Combining superior off-axis
rejection with an ultra-thin and highly sensitive
dual-element, the M160 offers the detailing
and close-miked intimacy often associated with
pricey condensers.

R-121
The R-121 is a sleek, modern, and versatile ribbon
microphone combining warmth and clarity of sound
and housed in a compact, durable metal frame. The
element’s gure-of-8 polar pattern exhibits increased
brightness on the backside at distances of 3’ or
less, but is equally sensitive on either side. You can
shove this mic against a Marshall stack or record an
introspective vocal performance with equally effective
results.
• Sensitive but durable dynamic ribbon mic with
gure-of-8 polar pattern
• 135dB SPL capacity, useful as drum overheads or
for miking speaker cabinets
• Ribbon element unaffected by heat or humidity
• 30Hz-15kHz frequency response
• Lifetime warranty

R-122
The R-122 is a versatile ribbon condenser microphone
with 48V phantom-powered ultra-quiet active
electronics. The element exhibits a true ribbon gure-
of-8 polar pattern, and the custom-wound toroidal
transformer in the microphone allows for much-
increased sensitivity. The phantom-powered circuitry
provides optimized impedance conversion with virtually
no self-noise for universal preamp compatibility.
• Durable, high-sensitivity ribbon condenser mic with
gure-of-8 polar pattern
• 135dB SPL capacity, quiet 48V phantom-powered
electronics
• Equal sensitivity in both front and back of mic
• Increased brightness in back of mic at shorter
distances
• 30Hz-15kHz frequency response

Sf-12
The SF-12 is a stereo coincident ribbon microphone
offering premium stereo separation and unusually
high SPL capabilities. The SF-12 consists of a pair of
matched ribbon mics connected one over the other
and aimed 45° off-center in the classic Blumlein style.
The mic is endowed with excellent phase compatibility
between the two sides for artifact-free mono recording,
and exhibits negligible of-axis coloration.
• True stereo microphone for Blumlein or M-S recording
• 130dB SPL capacity with no self-distortion
• Great for minimalist drum kit recording
• Free of phase anomalies, folds well to mono
• 30Hz-15kHz frequency response

Sf-24
The SF-24 is an unusual stereo ribbon condenser
microphone with active electronics supporting 48V
phantom power. Basically crossed and stacked gure-
of-eights, the microphone exhibits classic Blumlein
and M-S stereo characteristics with a high SPL
capacity free of phasing issues and mono-friendly –
either side of the SF-24 may be used as a separate
mono mic. The mic’s unusually high sensitivity allows
for use with any outboard or mixing console mic pre.
• True stereo ribbon condenser microphone
• 130dB SPL capacity with no self-distortion
• Active electronics, 48V phantom power only
• Consistent frequency response unaffected by
distance
• 40Hz-15kHz frequency response

lateral sounds and the suppression of sounds from
adjacent sources. Boasting a wide and open-
sounding frequency response, it’s an excellent tool
for capturing a soloist or small instrumental groups.
It comes equipped with a roll-off lter and switchable
attenuation.
• Wide frequency response
• Very low self noise
• Roll-off lter
• Figure 8 pattern
• 40Hz–20kHz frequency response

KSM353
professional ribbon MiCrophone
The KSM353 is a professional-quality ribbon
microphone ideal for capturing instruments
or vocals. The mic has a gure-8 polar
pattern and a custom ribbon motor that
tailors the bass response without lowering
the overall output. Revolutionary Roswellite
proprietary ribbon material with high tensile
strength and shape memory replaces the
traditional foil ribbon construction in order
to achieve extremely high SPL capabilities.
A double-shielded full-size transformer
minimizes signal loss and maximizes
output while also keeping magnetic and
RF interference to a minimum. The mic is
machined steel, gold, silver, and aluminum
components. It includes a spring-loaded
shock mount and wooden storage case.
