sE Electronics - Active Ribbon Mic

The Voodoo Ribbons from sE mark a new era for Ribbon mic technology - until the release of both the VR1 and VR2, the only Ribbon mic in the world to perform across 20Hz-20KHz was our own Rupert Neve collaboration, the RNR1. Both our Voodoo Ribbon mics capture frequencies from 20Hz to 20KHz and the outcome is a traditional yet detailed and natural ribbon mic sound.

The VR2 is an 'active' version of the VR1, which is the more traditional 'passive' Ribbon design. These mics' unique ability to perform, coupled with searingly good looks, is sure to make the VR1 and VR2 classics of their time.

"Look, i'm a trumpet player...I know nothing about EQ's and ribbons and bows. However, what I do know is that, after 20 years of touring with everyone from Bon Jovi to Jamiroquai, I have never had such a great trumpet sound come out of that black box on the floor as what I get since we started using that fancy mic with the radiator around it (the VR2/IRF2 combination), so they tell me). Finally the sound that comes out of the horn, comes out of the monitor!" - Johnny Thirkell
