‘Valkyr’ has two finely matched ribbon transducers orientated at 90º to one another. The figure-8 polar patterns are incredibly pure, and provide excellent rejection at the nulls. This allows the engineer to set up Blumlein pair or Mid-Side arrangements quickly and accurately. It is easier to find the sweet spot in the room when only moving one microphone around.

Further details

Valkyr’s extended frequency response and strong output level give that classic ‘ribbon mic tone’ in a beautifully engineered, modern microphone. The audio arriving at the microphones is phase coherent which means that the stereo image produced has excellent depth and positional accuracy. And the wide acceptance angle of the microphones easily takes in the whole band, orchestra or choir.

Read Sound On Sound’s Valkyr review

“I quickly grabbed the Valkyr, which had been doing duty as a room mic, and repurposed it as a vocal mic, placed on an imaginary line between the guitar and bass amps. The lower element, facing towards the singer, gave me a remarkably spill-free vocal sound, while the upper element was still usable as a room mic, with virtually no vocal pickup.” Sound On Sound

Valkyr is supplied with a stereo cable (4 metres), rugged stereo breakout box, Fenrir mount, and a tough carry case.

Mechanical parts carry a lifetime warranty to the original owner. Ribbons and cables are warrantied for 1 year from date of purchase, but with care should last many years.

All of our microphones are machined and built in Yorkshire, England.
