Cloud Microphones JRS-34 Passive Ribbon Microphone

The Cloud JRS-34 represents a remarkable fusion of vintage RCA heritage and cutting-edge ribbon microphone technology. This premium microphone was developed in collaboration with Stephen Sank as a tribute to RCA engineer Jon R. Sank, combining the beloved character of classic ribbon tone with the enhanced clarity and output levels demanded by contemporary recording environments.

Crafted by hand in the USA, the JRS-34 incorporates several sophisticated design elements including a hand-cut ribbon element, patented rounded magnet configuration, and a custom CineMag transformer. The integration of Cloudlifter Class A JFET circuitry provides active output capabilities, requiring phantom power while ensuring seamless compatibility with all modern preamp systems.

The microphone’s figure-8 polar pattern, broad frequency response characteristics, and impressive SPL handling capabilities make it exceptionally versatile for professional applications. From capturing intimate vocal performances to recording instruments and ambient room acoustics, the JRS-34 brings the warmth and musicality of vintage ribbon design to today’s studios and live performance venues.
