sE-Electronics SE/Neve RNR1

A ribbon microphone unlike no other. If you're well-versed with recording equipment you'll know that any piece of equipment baring the Rupert Neve emblem is going to look and sound the part. The sE Electronics RNR1 Rupert Neve Ribbon Mic certainly does not disappoint.


Whilst ribbon microphones are great for projecting warmth and intimacy into your productions, thanks to the increased proximity effect. You'll find that when featured in dense mixes it's easy for tracks to submerge into the background because of their lack of definition. The RNR1 renders this a thing of the past. No longer will you have to pair your ribbons with a condenser to achieve the sound you desire. The ribbon comes with an extended frequency response of up to 24kHz and an increased transient response. What are you waiting for? There's no other ribbon microphone like the sE Electronics RNR1 available on the market.

Excellent pedigree

The RNR1 has excellent pedigree. It is the brainchild of sE electronics and Rupert Neve. Both companies are renowned for producing industry standard equipment that lasts. Therefore, it's no surprise that the RNR1 is in a league of its own.


The RNR1 is a modern take on a ribbon microphone. The high-quality nature of the circuitry that exists between the transformers ensures the microphone has an excellent extended frequency response. When comparing with other ribbons, you'll find that the RNR1 goes above and beyond where most ribbons naturally roll-off higher frequencies. Thanks to this, you'll be provided with excellent transient detail that makes the RNR1 a natural choice for overheads, acoustic guitars, and pianos.
