About this listing
The sE Electronics VR2-NG Active Ribbon Microphone brings the smooth, natural character that makes ribbon microphones so addictive while delivering the output, detail, and versatility needed for modern recording.With its active electronics, extended 20 Hz to 18 kHz frequency response, and hand-crafted aluminum ribbon, the VR2-NG captures sources with rich body, open high-frequency detail, and a wonderfully musical response. From vocals and acoustic instruments to drum overheads, brass, strings, and screaming guitar cabinets, this is a ribbon microphone that refuses to be pigeonholed. At the heart of the VR2-NG is a hand-crafted 2.5 µm aluminum ribbon, carefully tensioned by sE Electronics' specialized technicians. Its unique ribbon design provides the smooth transient response and natural tonal balance associated with a quality ribbon microphone while extending the top end well beyond what many traditional ribbon designs offer. The active circuitry provides a healthy 14.1 mV/Pa sensitivity, making the VR2-NG well suited for quieter sources such as vocals, piano, acoustic guitar, and strings without demanding huge amounts of gain from your microphone preamp. The microphone requires standard 48V phantom power for operation. Versatility is one of the VR2-NG's biggest strengths. Its figure-8 polar pattern provides excellent rejection from the sides while capturing sound from both the front and rear, opening up plenty of options for room placement, ensemble recording, and creative microphone techniques. With a maximum SPL of 135 dB, it is equally comfortable in front of loud guitar cabinets, drums, brass, and other high-output sources. The rugged all-metal housing helps reject electrical interference, while the gold-plated XLR connector provides dependable connectivity for demanding studio and live applications. A custom shockmount makes positioning easy, whether you need the microphone centered normally, positioned close against a guitar cabinet or drum, or angled into a tight recording position.sE Electronics VR2-NG Active Ribbon Microphone FeaturesActive ribbon microphone with detailed, open, and natural soundHand-crafted 2.5 µm aluminum ribbonExtended frequency response captures more upper-frequency detail than traditional ribbon designsActive electronics provide increased sensitivity for quieter instruments and vocalsFigure-8 polar pattern offers strong side rejection and versatile recording possibilitiesHandles high-SPL sources including guitar cabinets, drums, and brassExcellent choice for vocals, drum kits, overheads, room recording, acoustic guitar, electric guitar cabinets, strings, piano, woodwinds, and brassRugged all-metal housing helps reject electrical interference and noiseGold-plated XLR connector provides reliable connectivityCustom shockmount supports flexible positioning in the studio or on stageRequires 48V phantom powersE Electronics VR2-NG Active Ribbon Microphone SpecificationsTransducer: Hand-crafted 2.5 µm Aluminum ribbonElectronics: ActiveElectrical Impedance: 200 OhmsConnectivity: 3-pin male XLR connectorPowering: 48V Phantom Power (P48 according to IEC 61938)Polar Pattern: Figure-8Frequency Range: 20 Hz - 18 kHzSensitivity: 14.1 mV / Pa (-37 dBV)Max SPL: 135 dB (0.5% THD @ 1kHz)Equivalent Noise Level: 18 dB(A)Signal to Noise Ratio: 76 dBsE Electronics VR2-NG Active Ribbon Microphone IncludessE Electronics VR2-NG Active Ribbon MicrophoneShock MountMicrophone Stand ClipThread AdapterWindscreenSoft CaseManualManufacturer Warranty
