“The R88 has become an indispensable tool in my mic collection. Rarely do I not use it on drum overheads and it is always somewhere in my orchestral brass setups.

Paired with RPQ500 I have plenty of gain and a range of harmonic options that really make this mic shine. As a fan of the Blumlein micing technique this mic makes placement quick and easy with perfect imaging.”
