If you think your microphone is in need of service, please follow the instructions below. If you are uncertain about the problem you’re having with the microphone, contact the Royer Labs service department at 818-847-0121. Problems can often be as simple as a miswired cable, a preamplifier mismatch, RF interference, etc.

1. Download and fill out the Royer International Repair Authorization Form (PDF).

2. Call us at 818-847-0121 or e-mail us at to obtain a return authorization number. Microphones that are sent to Royer Labs without a return authorization number take longer to return.

3. Very Important! Make sure to include a commercial invoice stating USA as the Country of Origin and Country of Manufacture. This is vital from a duties standpoint. If either of these two statements are missing, US Customs will charge duties. Any duties assessed will be charged to the owner of the microphone, payable before we release the microphone.

4. Very Important! Make sure to use a carrier that has their own brokerage system such as Fed-Ex, DHL, UPS etc. and not a direct air carrier. If a direct air carrier is used any additional broker and/or custom charges will be charged to the sender, payable before we release the microphone and will unnecessarily prolong the repair.

5. Go over the packing instructions (below) to make sure the microphone is properly packed before you send it.

Your microphones are precision instruments and must be carefully packed whenever they are shipped. Even microphones in need of repair or service must be packed sufficiently. Proper evaluation by the service department is only possible if no further damage occurs during shipping.

- The microphone should be sent in its original wooden presentation case. If you have the flannel mic sock or plastic bag, include that as well.

- Hopefully, you’ve kept your original cardboard box and foam ends that the mic came with. If you have these, place the presentation case in this box and seal it. If you have discarded these items, wrap the wooden presentation case with some bubble wrap.

-This neat little package should be placed in the center of a larger box with plenty of packing material (peanuts, popcorn, shredded paper, etc.) around the packed mic.

- Be sure to include the Royer repair authorization form with the microphone.

- Finally, it is advisable to write “FRAGILE” on several sides of the box. Do not assume that the carrier will be gentle with your package

Always pack your microphone well, like this:
