Details
Controls: none (passive, no switches)
I/O: 1x XLR male output
Notes: Passive ribbon mic; entry point of the R-Series, positioned as the direct replacement for the now-discontinued R-101 (Royer states R-10 succeeds R-101, whose page confirms discontinuation). Price = Sweetwater street price (USD), MSRP not published on royerlabs.com. phantom_power=false since passive ribbon needs none (per field guidance phantom_power=true only applies to active ribbons/dBooster).
