• Large-scale hand-wound transformers
• Designed by Rupert Neve

Large-Scale Transformer

Made obvious by the unusual chassis shape, the RN17's transformer is substantially larger than the norm.

This full-scale transformer was custom-designed by Rupert Neve specifically for this microphone - and nobody has been designing audio transformers longer (or better) than Rupert Neve.

Additional Capsules

Interchangeable capsules give this mic the versatility for use in both the home and studio environment.

The RN17 ships with a cardioid capsule, but the wooden box has room for additional capsules in the form of omni, cardioid cut, hypercardioid, and figure-8.

These capsules can be utilized for enhanced room sound (omni), low frequency control (cardioid cut) greater side rejection (hypercardioid), or mid-side recording techniques (figure-8).
