Further Than Expected
Vocals or instruments within 18 inches of the R84’s reach will benefit from its pronounced proximity-effect. This accentuated low-end adds warmth and depth to the tonality already present in a vocal. The vocalist can step closer to the R84 for greater accentuation of bass, or farther back if the effect is overwhelming.

Two Singers, Two Sides
The figure-of-8 polar pattern of the R84 allows it to capture quality sound from both sides, so capturing the live harmony of two vocalists on opposing sides of the mic is a simple solution for producing organic performances. In fact, the R84’s axis is so wide that it can accommodate multiple vocalists surrounding the mic for great multi-part harmonies.
Group Singers
The R84’s pattern has a very wide pickup allowing you to position multiple singers around the mic and to have a consistent sound even when off-axis. This is common both in the studio and in many live performances.
