<h1>SE Electronics Voodoo VR1 Ribbon Microphone</h1>
<i>Voodoo Passive Ribbon Microphone with Shockmount and Case</i><br /><br />The SE Electronics VR1 is a passive ribbon microphone designed to to bring out the bite and edge from your guitar cabs with no muddy highs. <span style="background-color: initial;">The VR1 is a passive ribbon, so it does not require phantom power – though it is “phantom-protected”, so it will not be damaged by accidental application of phantom power. Given its lower </span><span style="background-color: initial;">output, it is ideally suited for loud sources such as electric guitars, drum overheads, and brass.<br /><br /></span>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.<br /><br />The result is a superbly detailed, open and natural recording of acoustic instruments and guitar cabs. The VR1's ability to perform - coupled with its unique look - have already made it a secret weapon for top musicians and engineers worldwide.<br /><br />
