Xaudia

RSA R1 Ribbon microphone

This is a very early 1930s British microphone that has been fully restored at Xaudia and is ready for use in a modern studio.

It has been cleaned inside and fitted with a new ribbon and cable. Replacement grills cloths and rubber have been fitted inside the microphone. This microphone currently has its original transformer. I can swap this for a higher output transformer on request. The original grills are in place – I can swap these for modern grills on request.

The body has been cleaned and refinished in a tough textured paint which is similar to how it would have looked when new.

This comes with a thread adapter to the yoke for use with modern mic stands.

This is a  full £250 less than one currently listed on Reverb.
