UNPACKING, INSPECTION STORAGE AND

TRANSPORT

The R2 was carefully tested and packed at the fac-

tory. The wooden box has been designed to protect

the mic when you ship or move it. Please retain the

shipping box in case you will need to transport the

R2 for service or for any other reason.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

The ribbon assembly in the R2, as with all ribbon

microphones, is very sensitive and fragile and can

be easily damaged if handled the wrong way.

That is why it is important that you immidiately

aer you have received the R2, veries that it is

working properly and that it has not been damaged

during shipping.

The warranty of the ribbon assembly in the R2 does

not extend beyond this initial inspection, since it can

be damaged so easily if it isn´t handled properly.

In the rare case that the R2 is not working properly

when receiving it, please contact your dealer.

FEATURES

- The unmatched natural and musical sound of a

classical ribbon microphone.

- A stunning realism with the feeling of “being-

there”.

- The typical large and mellow ribbon sound quality

with a very smooth top end and an extended

low end.

- A fast and life-like transient reproduction.

- A high SPL capability, 137dB SPL (1% THD @ 1000

Hz) and a good sensitivity for a ribbon mic of this

type.

- A Figure-8 directional paern for wide sweet spots

both in the front and in the back of the microphone.

Zero spots towards the sides. This gives you the

ability to separate sound sources by placing the

unwanted ones in the side zero pick-up directions.

Placing the unwanted ones towards the sides of the

R2 will remove most of the direct sound from the

sound source. The R2 will still pick up that source

from the reverberant eld in the recording room

though.

- A 42mm long ribbon made of 2,5 microns thick

aluminium foil.

Due to the small width of the ribbon, the horisontal

pick-up paern is very wide. It is much wider com-

pared to a large capsule condenser microphone.

The vertical pick-up paern is narrow at the higher

frequencies though due to the lenght of the ribbon.

This is due to the fact the the wavelenght at higher

frequecies is much shorter than the ribbon lenght.

If you want a maximum top end response from the

R2, it is important that the R2 is mounted so that it

is paralell to the sound source.

If it is vertically angled against the sound source,

then there will inevitably be a loss of top end.

This can sometimes be a good thing

so this eect can be used creatively.

The narrow vertical pick-up pat-

tern will lower the eect of high

frequency sound reections.

- An internal shock mount for

the ribbon and magnet assem-

bly.

- Manufactured of the nest

materials for a great performance

and long-term reliability.

- The R2 can be used with any stand-

ard mixer or preamp, preferably with a

balanced input.

Since the sensitivity of ribbon mics in

general is quite low compared to con-

denser microphones,

you will need a preamp with some extra

gain available when you record quiet

sound sources.

Classic Ribbon Microphone

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on choosing the Golden Age Project R 2 microphone!

The R2 is a high quality vintage style ribbon microphone with some modern developments. It

oers the unique and natural sound that has been available in classical microphones that are

still used to make high quality recordings today aer almost 70 years.

The R2 is very well suited for the recording of most sound sources like vocals, acoustic instru-

ments, strings, horns, orchestras and choral groups and many live sound applications. In spite of

its low cost, the R2 meets the stringest demands.

For maximum benet and trouble free use of the R2, please read this manual carefully.

Be aware of the proximity eect (an increase in bass

response) when the R2 is close to the sound source.

This can be a good or a bad thing.

You can adjust the bass response by changing the

distance from the mic to the sound source for an

optimum result in dierent situations.

You can also use a high-pass lter in your preamp

or mixer.

PRECAUTIONS

-The active part in the R2 consists of a very thin and

ultra-light corrugated aluminium ribbon clamped

under light tension and mounted between the poles

of a strong magnet.

When the sound waves hits the ribbon and moves it,

a small current is generated in the ribbon since it is

suspeneded in a magnetic eld.

The good part of this design is that it results in one

of the warmest and most natural sound available

from any type of microphone.

The bad part of it is that it also make ribbon micro-

phones the most sensitive and fragile ones.

It is therefor very important that the R2, as any other

ribbon mic, is treated with very special care if it is

not to be seriously damaged.

In order to ensure a long life for your R2, please

always follow these guidlines:

1. Do never subject the R2 to hard knocks, such

as dropping it or not packing it properly when

you move or transport it since this can destroy the

ribbon assembly.

2. Do never blow into the R2 and protect it from any

strong blast of air movement as this can tear and

destroy the fragile ribbon.

Do never move around fast with the R2 in your

hand, please remember that any excessive air move-

ment can damage the ribbon.

3. Do always use a pop-lter when there is a risk of

excessive air movements reaching the ribbon from

the sound source.

One exemple is close-up vocals. The pop-lter will

also protect the R1 from mouth spray. Do always

protect the R2 from dirt and moisture.

4. Do never apply phantom power to the R2 since it

can burn the ribbon. Be very careful that phantom

power is switched o before plugging the R2 into a

mixer or preamp and see to it that no one turns the

phantom power on by mistake.

5. When the R2 is not in use, always keep it in its case.

6. Do always store the R2 in a vertical position. If it

is stored horisontally, the 42 mm long ribbon can sag

by time which will gradually degrade the perform-

ance of the R2.

7. Avoid exposing the R2 to direct sunlight or

extremes in humidity for extended periods of time.

8. Do never try to service the R 2 yourself since this

will void the warranty.

WARRANTY

- Due to the extremely delicate nature of ribbon

mics which can so easily be damaged by improper

handling and use, the ribbon assembly is not cov-

ered under warranty.

Please check your R2 carefully immidiately when

you receive it and make sure that there are no prob-

lems with the mic.

Aer that rst initial inspection, the standard war-

ranty only apply to defects in materials and work-

manship in parts other than the ribbon assembly.

If the ribbon assembly is damaged during use, con-

tact your dealer or us for a quote for replacement of

the ribbon assembly.
