The VR1, a passive ribbon to bring out the bite and edge from your guitar cabs with no muddy highs.The VR ribbon microphones from sE mark a new era for ribbon mic technology.Until the VR Series, the only ribbon mic in the world to perform across 20Hz-20kHz was our own Rupert Neve collaboration, the RNR1.
This was achieved using state-of-the-art custom transformers and a Rupert Neve-designed circuit to reveal HF usually absent.With the VR mics, full frequency response is achieved using a clever mechanical device designed by Siwei Zou, the company CEO, and a hand-tensioned ribbon constructed by our highly specialized technicians in sE's capsule room.The result is a superbly detailed, open and natural recording of acoustic instruments and guitar cabs.
The VR1 & VR2's ability to perform - coupled with their unique look - have already made them a secret weapon for top musicians and engineers worldwide.
