Achieve Stunning Results
The engineers at Golden Age used top-drawer componentry to take the original R1 Active design to the next level. This ribbon microphone has a discrete amplifier, Lundahl 1927A transformer, and top-of-the-line capacitors for an exceptionally realistic sound. Like the standard R1 Active microphone, the R1A Premier comes with an internally shockmounted ribbon, selectable highpass filter, and 10dB pad. What’s more, active circuitry drives long cable runs with absolute ease — a major plus in the eyes of Sweetwater. You’ll also receive a detachable cable made with Mogami wire and durable gold-plated connectors. Choose the Golden Age R1A Premier and capture nuanced sound sources like never before!
Upgraded internal components
Aside from the alternate finish, the R1A Premier differs from the R1 Active by virtue of its upgraded internal components. Perhaps the most important among such upgrades is a Swedish-made Lundahl 1927A transformer. You’ll also enjoy the discrete amplifier equipped with Wima film and Nichicon electrolytic audio capacitors. Finally, the R1A Premier microphone features a premium detachable cable made with Mogami wire and gold-plated Neutrik connectors. The Golden Age Project pulled out all the stops to load the R1A Premier with the best components possible — and the difference is quite audible.
A ribbon mic for today’s creators
Vintage ribbon microphone designs can be fragile and finicky beats in the studio. However, the Golden Age Project R1A Premier takes advantage of multiple modern upgrades to handle any situation. This mic delivers the classic ribbon sound with a smooth high and an extended low end. The R1A Premier handles extreme sources like a champ, tolerating an unbelievable 160dB SPL (plus a 10dB pad). Don’t worry: the high SPL handling doesn’t sacrifice this ribbon’s sensitivity. It flaunts a high degree of sensitivity that’s especially apparent on vocals. If you need a workhorse studio mic that’s dynamite on almost any source, go with the Golden Age R1A Premier.
