Passive Ribbon Mic with Shockmount and Case
The Voodoo Ribbons from sE mark a new era for Ribbon mic technology – until now the only Ribbon mic in the world to perform across 20Hz-18KHz was sE's Rupert neve collaboration, the RNR1, critically acclaimed as the best Ribbon mic in the world.
This was achieved using state of the art transformers and a Rupert neve designed circuit board to reveal HF usually absent. The Voodoo mics however achieve full frequency response using a new mechanical device (patent pending), designed by Siwei Zou, the company CEO.
This extraordinary technical achievement allows the traditional Ribbon capsule to develop and capture frequencies from 20Hz to 18KHz like no other Ribbon on the planet. The sound is revolutionary; where the RNR1 is simply a stunning mic in its own class entirely, the Voodoo range brings traditional ribbon sound to the project and commercial studio but extends it to perform as well as most condensers do.
The result is superbly detailed and wonderfully open and natural sounding recordings of acoustic instruments and guitar cabs. The VR1 is a passive Ribbon design. This mic's unique ability to perform, coupled with searingly good looks, is sure to make the VR1 a classic of its time.
