    ROYER LABS DEMONSTRATION CD #1 This CD was made so that you can hear for yourself, in your own studio, the sound of Royer ribbon microphones on a wide variety of recordings. Don't skip the CD's short introduction - it gives you a few pointers on getting the most out of this CD. Your ears are your best guide, but in case you'd like to know what a few Royer owners think: WARM "I love the way it allows me to put all the low end warmth onto tape." - Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Kiss) SWEET "The high frequency response is extremely smooth and sooooo sweet!" - Bruce Swedien (Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Duke Ellington) "They worked in virtually every setting we tried them in." - Shawn Murphy (Scoring Engineer; John Williams, James Horner) BIG "Huge low end with no eq." - Jerry Finn (Green Day, Blink-182) "Big, big drums, and great bottom on guitars." - Joe Barresi (Alanis Morrissette, Hole, Weezer) "I have to say these are the clearest, most punchy sounding mic's I've ever used, period." - Gary Tole (David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Melissa Etheridge) DIGITAL FRIENDLY "I use Royer ribbons every day I record. They bring a truly analog vibe to digital recordings." - Steve Kempster (Scoring Engineeer; Trevor Rabin, Mark Mancina) "Royers bring back to digital recording what was lost in the process of going from analog tape to digital formats." - Bryan Carlstrom (Producer/Engineer - The Offspring, Alice In Chains) VERSITILE "God, I love these (*#&%$@#) things!!!" - Ed Cherney (Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton) "I'm using R-121's all over everything - it's my go-to microphone." - Noel Golden (Engineer w/ Matt Serletic, Matchbox 20, Willy Nelson) "Royer mics are one of the very best things to happen to recording in years." - Tommy Vicari (Quincy Jones, George Duke) "It's definitely the best mic I've ever used for recording electric guitar." - Sean Beavan (Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails) "It is by far my new, most favorite recording tool." - Ross Hogarth (Keb Mo, Black Crowes, REM) "I first used my pair of R-121's on every song on Jewel's 'Joy' album.
