Cloud Microphones JRS 34 & JRS 34P

soundonsound.com

Cloud Microphones' JRS-34P Passive Ribbon Microphone serves up a delightful blend of vintage charm and modern construction. Hand-built in the USA, it channels the legacy of iconic RCA designs, thanks to its lineage from the Sank family. Its sound is well-balanced, offering weighty lows and smooth highs, perfect for capturing electric guitars or vocals with warmth and clarity. However, its lower output demands a high-quality preamp or a pairing with a Cloudlifter for optimal performance. While some may desire more detailed specs and a shockmount, its robust build and retro styling make it a compelling choice for those seeking authentic ribbon mic sound at a reasonable price.

Cloud JRS-34 Ribbon Mics Review - TapeOp Pro Audio | Tape Op Magazine

tapeop.com

The Cloud Microphones JRS-34P Passive Ribbon Microphone strikes a harmonious balance between vintage homage and modern innovation. With its lightweight yet durable build and impressive sound capture on an array of instruments—from cello to acoustic bass—this mic delivers a rich tone reminiscent of classic RCA models without the bulk. Musicians and producers, even studio veterans, have been won over by its sound quality, particularly praising its ability to minimize unwanted noise and capture natural tones. The main drawback is its limited mount adjustability, but overall, this mic is a worthy contender for any studio seeking to diversify its sonic palette.
