RT1 Produces very pleasing vocal reproductions with a
tone resembling vintage ribbon mics. Actual ribbon microphones
are not suitable for high amplification stage use due to
typical figure 8 pickup pattern, which creates feedback
problems, and their fragile nature. RT1's moving coil rugged
design is suitable to demanding conditions of stage and road
use, and its cardioid pickup pattern eliminates feedback
issues.
Applications:
The warm and rich tone of RT1 and its wide frequency
response and cardioid pattern make it suitable for a wide
variety of stage sound reinforcement applications. Guitar and
bass cabinets, variety of acoustic instruments, including drum
sets can all be amplified with great results using RT1.
Two layers of internal wind screens with optimal distance
between them very effectively eliminate
breath noises in vocal applications. Although the
exterior design of this mic is geared for stage use, studio
vocal recordings produce very pleasing results as well.
