Presented in a black finish, the sE Electronics VR2 Active Ribbon Microphone features a hand-tensioned aluminum ribbon and active electronics, which run on 48V phantom power and provide increased sensitivity, greater signal-to-noise performance, and less self-noise. It is tuned to deliver the classic sonic characteristics of ribbon mics along with the extended high-frequency traits normally associated with condenser microphones.

A Fresh Take on Ribbon Sound with Active Design

The VR2 is an active ribbon mic built around a hand‑tensioned 2.5 µm aluminum ribbon, energized by 48 V phantom power and delivering nearly full-range frequency coverage from 20 Hz to 18 kHz. Its onboard electronics provide higher sensitivity and lower self-noise (~18 dB(A)), expanding the usability of ribbon tone into vocals, acoustic instruments, and bright sources—without the figure‑of‑speech “darkness” of classic passive ribbons

Figure‑8 Directivity and High SPL Handling

With a traditional figure‑8 polar pattern, the VR2 captures sound with symmetrical sensitivity on both sides while rejecting off‑axis reflections—making it excellent for stereo placement or isolating sound sources. Despite its delicate ribbon diaphragm, it can handle up to 135 dB SPL at 0.5% THD, allowing clean capture of drum overheads, guitar amps, brass, and more

Streamlined Build with Studio‑Grade Accessories

The microphone’s slim rectangular chassis and proprietary shockmount minimize stand-borne resonance and allow flexible positioning—even flat against a drum head or angled for ambient pickup. Included accessories—wooden case, stand clip, thread adapter, and shockmount—make it ready for both home and professional use. At around 360 g (12.7 oz) and under 187 mm tall, it's lightweight but roadworthy
