Key Features
The SubZero R2 Ribbon Microphone is ideal for recording guitar amps, drum kits, brass and vocals with a warm, crystal-clear tone. Its figure-8 polar pattern picks up from both the front and back, perfect for capturing room tone as well as your direct source.
The smooth frequency response handles bright or complex instruments like brass, electric guitar amps or cymbals with ease, delivering detail without sharpness. And with a high SPL handling of 148dB, you can be equally confident in its performance in both quiet and loud environments.
Plus, with the included mic clip and carry case, the R2 slots in easily to any modern recording rig - whether you're adding to a home studio or building out a project space.

The R2 captures audio with clarity and balance, making it a great match for instruments that often sound too sharp or aggressive through other mics. Its ribbon design naturally softens high frequencies without dulling the overall tone, helping bring out the full detail of brass, woodwinds, and guitar amps. That makes it an easy pick for producers and engineers who want a clear and natural sound with minimal post-processing.
Whether you're miking a guitar amp, placing it above drum overheads, or using it to catch the natural sound of a room, the R2 delivers consistent results. The figure-8 pattern picks up from both sides, making it excellent for stereo setups or capturing subtle ambience.
With a maximum sound pressure level of 148dB, the R2 can take on seriously loud sound sources — like close-miked guitar amps, brass sections, or drum overheads — without breaking up. This makes it a dependable tool in both studio and live recording situations, especially when capturing dynamic performances at high volumes.
Whether you're building your first setup or expanding a growing rig, the R2 fits right in. Its XLR output is compatible with any audio interfaces or preamps that support +48V phantom power. It’s well-suited for musicians and engineers of all levels who want quality sound with a straightforward workflow. Plug it in, position it right using the included clip and you're good to go.
The latest in music technology, for modern musicians and producers. SubZero combines innovation and quality, with the determination to help you get the sound you want. From studio and guitars, to powerful PA systems and home audio setups - SubZero is all about cutting-edge audio.
