The HRO2 is a hand-built stereo ribbon microphone designed to capture width, depth, and realism in a single, elegant package. Using a pair of 2.5 micron ribbons in a fixed coincident stereo configuration, it delivers a coherent, spacious image without the complexity of multi-mic arrays. Subtle front-to-back voicing differences allow shaping of tonal balance between source and ambience. The result is a soundstage that feels true to the space, making the HRO2 equally at home in drum rooms, on ensembles, or capturing full band and orchestral performances.
