Royer Labs SF-2 Matched Pair - Active Ribbon Microphone
The SF-2 ribbon microphone is a phantom-powered version of the original SF-1 ribbon microphone. Designed primarily for classical applications and acoustic instruments, the SF-2 combines high-quality audio performance with an exclusive active electronics for ribbon microphones. The SF-2’s output of -38 dB puts its sensitivity on par with that of phantom powered condenser microphones, allowing it to be used with a wide variety of mic pres regardless of gain characteristics. The unique electronics and custom designed FET’s used in the SF-2 deliver ultra-quiet operation, with self-noise of lower than 18 dB.

Complete Soundfield Control
The Spatial Mic Converter plugin (AAX, Audio Unit & VST3) transforms the raw unprocessed audio signals from Spatial Mic USB & Dante to a number of different formats suitable for any type of audio production and opens advanced features like the ability to aim virtual mics in 360º. Learn More
Available for free download as VST3, AU (Audio Unit) & AAX. Compatible with most major DAWs.
Output Options Spatial Mic in Anechoic ChamberSpatial Mic employs the concept of Ambisonics to transform the raw signals from the capsule array to a format suitable for audio production. The included software takes the guesswork out of this, letting you concentrate on your recordings. It’s as simple as setting the output to your desired format – mono, stereo, surround sound or even Ambisonics! Ambisonics enables audio reproduction on any number of speakers in varying configurations. To accomplish this, Spatial Mic Converter uses an internal 64-channel filter matrix and measurements from an anechoic chamber. Learn More |
Surround Output featuring state-of-the-art dual band decoders for 5.1, 5.1.2, 5.1.4, 7.1, 7.1.2, and 7.1.4. | The virtual mic & mid-side output can create different types of higher order patterns in mono or stereo that go far beyond classic Omni → Cardioid → Figure-8. | Output 1st & 2nd Order Ambisonics in ambiX or FuMa formats. |
MicNet Control App MicNet Control provides remote control of the analog stage and internal DSP processing of Spatial Mic Dante. Computers on the Dante network running MicNet Control can change the parameters of any microphone on the network. MicNet Control can change the audio output format which is accomplished in the microphone itself via DSP. Output options include unprocessed (for Spatial Mic Converter Plugin), 1st order ambisonics, surround feeds and virtual mic mono or stereo pairs. These additional options beyond unprocessed audio open up many applications for live performance and broadcast when low latency audio feeds are needed. |
Spatial Control App Using the Spatial Record App alongside Spatial Mic USB offers a complete solution for capturing higher-order ambisonics wherever your travels may take you. The app’s intuitive design ensures quick setup, so you don’t miss out on critical recordings. Additionally, Spatial Record features a DSP mode for binaural playback (for files recorded with Spatial Mic), file browser and live monitoring. |
Spatial Mic Control App The Spatial Mic Control app provides remote manipulation of various hardware parameters on Spatial Mic USB. Spatial Mic Control communicates with the microphone through the same USB cable used to supply power and stream audio data. Spatial Mic Control replicates the hardware controls found on Spatial Mic USB itself and adds additional functionality. |
SETUP & RECORD
