The VR2 is a professional active ribbon microphone engineered for producers, recording engineers, and touring sound teams who demand full-frequency response and side-address capability. Built by sE Electronics with a hand-tensioned 2.5 µm aluminum ribbon and proprietary mechanical tensioning system designed by company CEO Siwei Zou, the VR2 delivers 20Hz–18kHz frequency response—a breakthrough for ribbon technology previously limited to narrow frequency windows. The all-metal housing, gold-plated XLR connector, and compact form factor ensure reliable performance in studio, live, and broadcast environments without the fragility or cost of vintage ribbon designs.

The VR2 excels on vocals, strings, drums, acoustic and electric instruments, orchestral recording, and overhead placement where presence and clarity matter. Its figure-8 polar pattern and innovative shock mount with flat, round-edged chassis allow flexible positioning—centered on a mic stand, angled into kick drums, or pressed flat against guitar cabinets. Phantom power compatible at 48V and rated for 135 dB SPL, the VR2 handles high-pressure sources and studio workflows without compromise. Whether tracking in a control room or on a mainstage, the VR2 combines precision engineering with practical design to deliver the natural, open sound that separates professional ribbon capture from budget alternatives.
