SE ELECTRONICS - VR2 Voodoo Active Ribbon Microphone with Shockmount and Case

The VR2 is your new "secret weapon" active ribbon mic, providing all the midrange magic of a traditional ribbon without sacrificing the edge of your high frequencies.

The VR2 active ribbon microphone from sE marks a new era for ribbon mic technology, achieving full-range frequency response using a clever mechanical device designed by Siwei Zou, the company CEO, a custom transformer and active circuitry, and a hand-tensioned ribbon constructed by our highly specialized technicians in sE's capsule room. The result is a superbly detailed, open and natural recording of acoustic instruments, vocals and guitar cabs. The VR2's ability to perform - coupled with its unique look - has already made it a secret weapon for top musicians and engineers worldwide.

Unlike traditional ribbons, which can sometimes sound very dull in the high frequencies, the VR2's clever mechanical design helps the mic achieve an extended frequency response that preserves the bite and edge of your guitar cabs or cymbals, while still smoothing out any harshness. And the transformers and active circuitry provide enough gain for any source you need to mic.

As with all of sE's ribbons and true condensers, the VR2’s ribbon element is handcrafted and hand-tuned by skilled technicians in our own factory. This is almost unheard-of for affordable microphones, and is a great point of pride for sE.

Why a handcrafted ribbon?
