"Royer Labs' R-12 and its sibling, the R-10 [Tape Op #124], are less expensive than the company’s flagship models and aimed at first-time ribbon mic buyers… but dare I say that I like the less expensive R-12 model more than my R-122 active ribbon? I just might for electric guitar applications. They are both excellent microphones and shine in a multitude of applications, but I was impressed by the R-12, and at under $1,000, it makes it an attractive option. I highly recommend the Royer R-12 and can’t imagine not having these mics in the locker as an option for recording guitars and drums from this point forward. They certainly live up to the “tough ribbon” marketing tagline".

Tape Op Magazine has a fantastic review of the new Royer Labs R-12 Active Ribbon Mic which at $1,199🇨🇦 is kinda a bargain. Oh, and until the end of June it comes with a FREE RSM-224 Shockmount valued at $479🇨🇦!
