Welcome

Introduction

Support

General Guidelines

Phantom Power

Phantom power is not required or recommended for the passive R44 and can potentially damage the ribbon if miswired or faulty.

Microphone Storage

Keep the microphone covered when not in use to prevent damage from air gusts or attraction of minute iron particles.

Air Turbulence

Stray Magnetic Fields

Ribbon microphones are prone to picking up magnetic fields; avoid proximity to hard drives or other sensitive items to prevent data loss.

Microphone Positioning

Application Advice

Proximity Effect

Proximity effect causes a rise in low-frequency response at close distances, enhancing richness but potentially reducing articulation.

How to Minimize Bleed

A Figure-of-8 Microphone

Figure-of-8 microphones have positive polarity on the front and negative on the back, producing voltage on specific pins.
