The R21 is a professional handheld dynamic microphone engineered for excellent sound quality and robust performance. It features a shock-mounted microphone element, high-gain output, and a low-impedance design, which together capture nuanced details of a performance with exceptional clarity. The microphone utilizes a cardioid pickup pattern, meaning it primarily captures sound from the front while significantly reducing unwanted feedback and background noise from the sides and rear.Its design is built for the rigors of heavy use, featuring a rugged, heavy-gauge mesh grille and an anti-dent ring for enhanced protection. The R21 can withstand high sound pressure levels (SPLs), producing crystal-clear vocals even in loud environments. It's a simple, reliable solution for a variety of applications, from recording to live stage use in venues like lecture halls, conference centers, and more.
