The R1 Active MKIII is a very cool mic that combines the best of both worlds: the warmth of a ribbon and the stability of a F.E.T. buffer amp. This means you can use the R1 Active MKIII with long cables and virtually any preamp that has 48V phantom power. A clean, crisp, yet warm and punchy sound is what the R1 Active MKIII delivers in most cases. We love it on drums, as a room mic or paired with a snare mic, but it sounds great on most instruments. The R1 Active MKIII is actually a very versatile mic, even suitable for some sensitive vocal recordings! Even more so now that the MKIII version includes switches for the low-cut and 10dB pad.
