Reynolds R-Type 1

The R-Type 1 is a classic multipattern valve amplified large diaphragm condenser microphone. Featuring a single triode subminiature valve in a plate follower configuration, the R-Type combines many design features of the classic vintage European microphone designs of the 1950s and 60s.

The microphone ships in an aluminium flightcase with a high quality shockmount, 5m 7pin gold plated microphone cable, and a vintage-style power supply with a 9 position selector switch to set the microphone's pickup pattern to fig8 through cardioiid to omnidirectional. Optional upgrades include a 5 metre Gotham GAC-7 premium 7pin microphone cable with Neutrik XX connectors. Gotham make the highest EMI and RFI shielded cable around and this upgrade further enhances the resolution and clarity of the microphone signal.
