The R 1 Active MKIII is a very cool mic that combines the best of two worlds; the warmth of a ribbon and the stability of a F.E.T. buffer ampilier. This means that you can use the R1 Active MKIII with long cables and virtually any pre-amp featuring 48V phantom power.
A clean and clear sound, yet warm and punchy is what the R1 Active MKIII will deliver in most cases. We love it on drums, as an ambience mic or in pairs for O.H. pickup, but it sounds great on most instruments.
The R1 Active MKIII is in fact a very versatile mic even suitable for some sensitve vocal recording! And even more so now when the mk3 version includes switches for low cut and 10dB pad.
Sound on Sound review says: "'Robust' and 'musical' were the first adjectives that sprung to mind when listening to the R1 Mk2. It sounded totally different from GA's R2, with a clear, smooth top end, and a lovely warm lower mid-range. "I can hear everything," the vocalist told us, and we later ended up using this microphone above all the others on several of her lead-vocal takes. The revised R1 Active (mentioned earlier) would probably pip it at the post, but if you have the right preamp to drive the passive version it's neck and neck. The results are all the more impressive considering the price."
"After initially trying an early active R1 design we were sent (which we found rather too dark and lacking in detail), GA went away and reworked the mic to come up with this model, which is a stunner on vocals. It has much of the same character as the R1 Mk2, but with what feels like an extra layer of euphony, presumably from the transformer. The panel described the Mk2 as "even, smooth and with more presence than many of the mics on test." The overall sound is fairly clean — almost breathy on vocals — and the mic immediately became one of our favourites"
