The MRP-01 is a classical ribbon microphone, known for its realistic reproduction of recorded material. In contrast to conventional dynamic or condenser microphones, the sound of MRP-01 is soft and natural, with a slight hint of heat, which is typical for ribbon microphones.
The MRP-01 is an extremely thin aluminum ribbon (1.8 microns) was used. This allows for higher sensitivity and faster transient response compared to standard 2.5 micron ribbon of competing models. The high-quality neodymium magnets of the capsule, combined with our unique 1.8 microns tapes the sound of the MRP-01 capsule makes bright and clear. The completely passive electronics adds no inherent intoxication and provides a beautiful pure sound with no coloration or ribbon distortion.
The microphone features a classical figure-of-eight polar pattern, the directivity means an identical front and back and almost complete rejection of the acoustic waves of pages. A figure-of-8 pattern fills your recording with a great sense of presence and is in a room with the performer to perceive.
It also allows the use of a matched pair of MRP-01 a Blumlein stereo recording technique that is known to be the best sounding recording process.
At best this microphone for recording vocals, brass and all acoustic instruments. There is also a perfect tool for broadcast studios, thanks to a figure of eight is particularly well suited for dialogue between dj and guest.
To protect sensitive ribbon we highly recommended a foam windscreen which can be ordered in our shop.
