sE Electronics RNR1

The world's first mic from Mr. Rupert Neve

With custom transformers and discrete circuitry from the man behind the recording industry as we know it, the RNR1 hears more than any other ribbon on the planet.

Siwei and Rupert first met in 2004 and that's when they started exchanging ideas. Soon, their first brainchild started to take shape and their collaboration on an "impossible" microphone began: an active ribbon mic with high-frequency response extending to an unprecedented 25kHz. Using two of Rupert's custom transformers and highly specialized circuitry, the RNR1 captures more of your soundscape than any other ribbon in the world.
