SE Electronics Voodoo VR2 Active Ribbon Microphone

Voodoo Active Ribbon Microphone with Shockmount and Case

The SE Electronics VR2 active ribbon that can take violins and voices right to the foreground of your listener's stereo. The VR2 is an active ribbon and requires +48V phantom power for operation. With higher sensitivity than the VR1, it is ideally suited for applications including acoustic instruments, piano, and vocals, as well as the same sources as the VR1 (guitars, drums, brass).

The Voodoo ribbon microphones from sE mark a new era for ribbon mic technology. Until the Voodoo Series, the only ribbon mic in the world to perform across 20Hz-20kHz was SE's Rupert Neve collaboration, the RNR1. This was achieved using state-of-the-art custom transformers and a Rupert Neve-designed circuit to reveal HF usually absent. With the Voodoo mics, full frequency response is achieved using a remarkably clever mechanical device designed by Siwei Zou, the company CEO, and a hand-tensioned ribbon constructed by highly specialized technicians in sE's capsule room.

The result is a superbly detailed, open and natural recording of acoustic instruments and guitar cabs. The VR2's ability to perform - coupled with its unique look - have already made it a secret weapon for top musicians and engineers worldwide.
