"I've never heard anything better in a ribbon microphone than Royer’s new R-122, ever! Something happened when they put that amp and larger transformer in there and this is my new favorite ribbon microphone. I always use ribbon mics for their warmth and sweet high frequency response characteristics, but there is something truly unique about the powered R-122's sound quality. My pal Omar Hakim was bouncing off the walls when he heard the first playback with R-122’s on overheads on his drum set - they just sound absolutely fantastic! Royer really nailed it with the R-122."

Mix - September 2004 issue, article by Kevin Becca
“…I can’t say enough good things about the SF-24. As with all mics, the SF-24 is not the magic transducer for all scenarios, but the Royer sounded so good in so many situations and was so easy to use, I would have to say that it was one of the most versatile mics I’ve ever used. The SF-24 came through with flying colors on almost every situation thrown in its direction—a rarity, indeed. For any seeker of scintillating sound, the SF-24 is a true find.”

Chris Stevens – R-121’s - Drums

"I've had a pair of 121's for about a year now, and I love 'em.  My studio isn't big enough to give me a really good natural reverb (for drums).  So, I started leaving the door to the garage open (studio and garage are adjacent), and running a pair of 121's in a blumlein array at the opposite end, with a couple of distressors on 'em.  I then delay the ambient track in Pro Tools about 90-100 ms, and raise to taste.  WOW!  Big drum sound from a small space.”
