10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Revolutionary clarity

The RN17's heart lies in its groundbreaking 15mm diaphragm—the smallest gold-sputtered diaphragm in production. This not only allows for a swift transient response but also ensures the capture of subtle high-frequency details with astonishing clarity. Coupled with a transformer designed by Rupert Neve, the microphone delivers a sonic purity that brings every nuance of the sound to life, making it perfect for capturing everything from the softest whisper of a choir to the vibrant tones of a piano.

Designed by a legend

When Rupert Neve lends his expertise to a project, excellence is a given. The RN17's transformer isn't just any component; it's a bespoke creation by Neve himself, designed to elevate the microphone's performance beyond conventional boundaries. This full-scale transformer ensures that the RN17 offers a balanced sound across all frequencies, providing users with a level of headroom previously unattainable in small-capsule microphones.

Flexibility in recording

Not just a one-trick pony, the RN17 comes standard with a cardioid capsule but also offers the option to use an omnidirectional capsule, making it a versatile tool in any recording scenario. Whether it's capturing the broad soundscape of an orchestra or the intimate nuances of a solo performance, the RN17 adapts to meet the needs of professional recording environments.

Unobtrusive and effective

The RN17's matte black finish ensures that it remains discreet, blending seamlessly into the background, whether on stage or in the studio. This, combined with its custom-designed shock mount, guarantees that vibrations or accidental knocks don't compromise the recording quality. The result is a pristine, clear sound that lets the true character of the performance shine through.

Reviews

"They've got a really elegant, smooth brightness to them. Not overly so...crystal clarity, but they've also got this forgiving warmth too." - Simon Rhodes - Recordist / Mixer (Spectre, Skyfall, Grand Budapest Hotel)

"Using the RN17 on acoustic guitars again today - what a revelation. Makes me want to go back and re-record every acoustic guitar I've recorded since 1988." - Brad Wood - Producer / Engineer (Pete Yorn, Liz Phair, Smashing Pumpkins)

"The RN17 has become my desert island microphone. If there was one microphone I knew I could take with me that would get me out of trouble, it's this...The clarity and the detail I get is wonderful, especially for one of the things I do a lot of, which is sampling - this is a perfect sampling microphone, because it has that reality that you need, with low noise, but it also has just a little bit of extra something." - Simon Franglen - Grammy award-winning Composer / Producer (Avatar, Titanic, Skyfall)
