R-10 : Lovely ribbon sound on guitars, vocals and drums

With a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing design, the R10 is easy to mount and position.

It's got a beautiful smooth ribbon sound that rolls off any possible harshness on acoustic guitars, cabs (especially with a full-on distorted sound and coupled with a dynamic) and cymbals through overheads.

While it's not always the most suitable for vocals it's my go to as it tames more cutting tones and responds wel to EQ boost if a voice needs more high-end character.

Haven't found any deficiencies yet. The box is nice and protective but it would be nice if a shockmount was provided. I've been able to find an inexpensive one but need a small layer of foam to keep the mic firmly in place.
