Description
Being There in Stereo
The R88 mk2 is optimized for recording instruments and ensembles in stereo. The R88 uses the large ribbon configuration of the classic RCA 44 series mics, which gives the mic solid 20Hz bass response and a smooth high end which is flattering to complex tones.
The R88 has a natural sound because it is the pure sound of two undamped long ribbons.
“The R88 has been optimized to produce the most natural stereo pickup possible with ribbon transducers. The R88 has two figure-8 ribbons angled at 90 degrees to each other (Blumlein configuration). It has a uniform polar frequency response and excellent off-axis frequency response.
