The Reynolds R-Type 2 features a classic AKG CK12 type, edge-terminated capsule. Coupled with a classic single triode plate follower circuit, the R-Type 2 bears many similarities to the classic AKG C12 and ELAM251. The microphone ships in an aluminium flightcase and includes a high quality shockmount, a 5metre 7pin gold-plated microphone cable, which connects the microphone with the included vintage-style power supply.The power supply features a nice position selector switch to control the directivity of the mic from fig8 through cardioid to omnidirectional. Optional upgrades include a 5 metre Gotham GAC-7 premium 7pin microphone cable with Neutrik XX connectors. Gotham make the highest EMI and RFI shielded cable around and this upgrade further enhances the resolution and clarity of the microphone signal.
