Classic ribbon warmth with condenser-like output – no special preamp needed. The Golden Age Project R1A (Premier) is a vintage-style active ribbon microphone with a discrete amplifier powered by 48V phantom power, a Swedish Lundahl 1927A transformer and Mogami/Neutrik cabling – the natural sound of classic RCA 44 and 77-era ribbons.
