Any of you ballers run the X1R Ribbon Mic??

[midnightlaundry]

I'd like something a bit more practical to take out of the house for a Ribbon Mic. How does this thing compare to a R121??
Looking at the Freq graph, it takes a rolloff in the highend, but this would be just for the guitar cab. Will I miss that air??

I'd like to interrupt your awesomeness to bump this back TTT...

I have the Voodoo series VR1 and I love it. I don't have any experience with the Royer, but I've gotten great results with the VR1. It's really true to life with a beautiful high end to it I wouldn't expect on a ribbon. I would reccomend it, as I have my eye on some of the other offerings from sE.

If you have something like a Suhr Reactive Load I recommend checking out some cabs from ValhallIR because some of them have IRs made with that mic.

It definitely has a “ribbon sound” but doesn’t sound like a 121 because nothing else has that very recognizable character.

Edit: actually I think it’s the VR1.

Seen that one, but was leaning more CHEAP..
