PHANTOM-POWERED RIBBON MICROPHONE How is the N22 different from other ribbon microphon...(+) PHANTOM-POWERED RIBBON MICROPHONE How is the N22 different from other ribbon microphones The AEA N22 was designed with the singer-songwriter musician in mind. Hard working artists, honing their musical craft for many years, feel strongly about their personal tone, so they need a microphone that translates their signature sound in a recording. The new N22 delivers on exactly those key points - providing a great ribbon tone without the need for EQ in most applications. Most importantly, the N22 was designed by listening first, and measuring only after experienced musicians told us the microphone sounded great. Bridging the gap between vintage and modern, ribbon and condenser, studio and live, the N22 is the perfect companion for musicians and engineers alike. What is under the hood Featuring the same Big Ribbon technology that has earned AEA its reputation, the N22 offers an incredible sound in close-mic applications like acoustic and electric guitars, vocals, and drums. With phantom-powered JFET electronics and a custom German transformer the N22 achieves optimal performance with a wide range of preamps including USB or Firewire audio interfaces in home studio setups. The highly protected pure aluminum ribbon allows for using the N22 in live sound applications and vocal recording without the need for an additional pop-filter. At an affordable price it delivers a handcrafted US-made microphone built to last a lifetime. About the NUVO series The N22 is the first member of AEA s NUVO series. Rooted in the RCA tradition just like other AEA ribbons, all NUVO microphones are designed to offer a fresh approach to the ribbon transducer and represent Wes Dooley s take on the evolution of the ribbon microphone.

 | A.e.a. Aea R84 Classic Passive Ribbon Microphone Studio
The Big Ribbon sound in a smaller package The R84 is different from other microphones....(+) The Big Ribbon sound in a smaller package The R84 is different from other microphones. One listen and the R84 will stand out with its big, clean sound, quick natural transients, articulate midrange, and effortless bass. The R84 is ideal as a spot mic, but with its reduced bass proximity effect and extended high end compared to the R44, the R84 has a broad range of applications. The R84 is an excellent digital recording tool, as digital processing has different limitations than analog. The digital recording process is more exacting. It s capable of preserving razor sharp details for generations. So it makes sense to use microphones that fit well into the final mix. Thus studio ribbon mics with their smooth, natural, and easy-to-EQ sound have enjoyed a rebirth as digital recording has blossomed. Over 30 years of servicing ribbon mics taught us what users like, and they like the big sound of the RCA 44. Preserving and reintroducing that sound became an AEA mission. The R44, robust, heavy, and expensive to manufacture, is now in daily use worldwide. But that s just the beginning of the story. Could we preserve and update this Big Ribbon sound in a more affordable package Using new technologies, how much could we simplify The R84 uses the same big ribbon as the 44, is 5 pounds lighter, and less bulky. Designed for accent and solo work, its bass proximity effect is less pronounced and the upper 10 to 20 kHz octave is stronger than the R44. Output sensitivity is good, being 2 dB to a Shure SM57. The R84 is now a standard in large and small studios around the world. Why does the R84 sound so different when compared to a condenser microphone Classic condenser diaphragms are radially stretched. They typically have sharp, narrow resonances in the 8 to 12 kHz range, the sound quality we refer to as tizz. The R84 and 44 use a long rectangular diaphragm that is clamped at the ends and tensioned lightly with a fundamental resonance below 20 Hz. Less than 80 millionths of an inch thick, this ultra low mass transducer has an excellent transient response with few resonances. It s one of the most sensitive and accurate transducers possible. Many have commented that the R84 records what your ear hears in the studio. Extreme high frequency headroom and low distortion allows close micing with an R84 without it sounding brittle. Additionally the smooth, nonresonant high end provides engineers considerable EQ flexibility. Try it, you ll enjoy it. FEATURES - Single-diaphragm with well-controlled, native figure-8 polar pattern - Wide-band response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz - High null-axis rejection and gain before feedback - High SPL capability, 165 dB above 1 kHz - Effortless lows and smooth natural highs - Fast, accurate transient reproduction - Low self noise - Excellent off-axis frequency response - Same Big Ribbon , tuning, and transformer as the R44 series - Classic look, but with milder proximity effect than the R44 - Easy to use and affordable - Versatile for close-up and ambient mic applications |

STEREO RIBBON MICROPHONE There is no easier way to track natural stereo than by using a...(+) STEREO RIBBON MICROPHONE There is no easier way to track natural stereo than by using a stereo mic. From drum overheads to live concert recordings, the R88 is convenient to use and aesthetically pleasing. The natural soundstage and character of the R88 s Blumlein Stereo makes it a great main mic. An excellent orchestral and choral recording microphone, it shines on applications such as horn sections and drum overheads. The R88 accurately records complex tones such as woodwinds, strings and cymbals. The heart of the R88 are two matched native pressure-gradient ribbon transducers tuned to 16.5 Hz. They are 1.8 micron (7/100,000 inch) thin and match the air s acoustical impedance within 1 dB. This is a Pure Ribbon minimum path design. Only black technical-fabric and stainless steel separate the ribbons from the music. AEA Big Ribbons deliver extended highs and fast transient response without the high-frequency, high-Q resonances characteristic of tightly stretched condenser. They are native figure-8s with exceptional imaging, transient response, and sense of space. The figure-8 pattern is highly useful for controlling bleed and room tone. Appreciated for What You Hear Is What you Get, Blumlein stereo is the most three dimensional coincident recording system. The ribbons are 90 degrees to each other for convenient Blumlein and Mid/Side (M/S) stereo. M/S is an excellent technique for solo instruments and situations needing post-production stereo width control. FEATURES - Polar patterns are consistent at all frequencies whereas directional condenser mics become omnidirectional at lower frequencies - Low frequency response extends down to 20 Hz whereas directional condenser capsules and shorter ribbons roll off and/or eliminate lower frequencies - Blumlein intensity stereo delivers a solid, stable and in-phase soundstage from their front and rear quadrants, with an excellent sense of depth - A properly positioned Blumlein pair also conveys a strong sense of spaciousness, reminiscent of spaced omnis, which we attribute to the left and right and left quadrants being out-of-phase |

 | A.e.a. Aea R92 Passive Studio Ribbon Close-up Use Micing
Fourth in the family of AEA s line of Big RibbonTM microphones, the AEA R92 was optimized ...(+) Fourth in the family of AEA s line of Big RibbonTM microphones, the AEA R92 was optimized spe-cifically for close work. With excellent wind-blast protection, the R92 is ideal for guitar, vocals, horns, percussion and strings at distances up to 3 inches. Over the past few years, AEA s acclaimed R84 ribbon microphone has become a new studio standard. Now AEA has again expanded the sonic possibilities of ribbon mics with the R92 Ribbon Microphone. Further reductions in the bass proximity effect and excellent wind blast protection make it suitable for close micing (3-12 inches) of guitar amps, vocals, percussion, and more. In addition, the smooth high frequency response of the R88 transducer has been further extended in the R92, making the R92 a unique voice in the world of ribbon mics. AEA has designed the R92 to have different tones on the front and rear pickup lobes of the microphone. The front lobe of the R92 is the crisp side, offering exceptionally clean and realistic high end detail. The rear lobe is the smooth side, which has a bit of classic ribbon high end rolloff that can help to handle harsh transients in a very refined and flattering way. Just like its bigger brothers in AEA s Big RibbonTM microphone series, the bass reproduction of the R92 is very solid and extended to the lowest audible bass frequencies. The R92 is designed with an integral elastic shock mount, featuring a unique mounting system that allows excellent flexibility of mic positioning. The mic ships with a two meter cable and a durable plastic carrying case. FEATURES - Same Big Ribbon , tuning, and transformer as the R44 series - For closer applications and louder sources - Compact design with different front and back tonality - Versatile for close-up and ambient mic applications - Particularly well suited for electric guitar, electric bass, and drums - Native-mode single-diaphragm figure-eight - Wide-band response from 20Hz to 20KHz - High null-axis rejection - Handles 135dB SPL above 1 kHz - Solid bass and extended treble response - Fast, accurate transient reproduction - Low self noise - Excellent off-axis frequency response |

THE FAITHFUL REPRODUCTION OF THE ICONIC RCA 44 The Reinvention of a Classic Whether i...(+) THE FAITHFUL REPRODUCTION OF THE ICONIC RCA 44 The Reinvention of a Classic Whether it be the smooth brass section of a Hollywood soundtrack, the velvety lushness of a jazz vocal, or the larger-than-life drum sound of a classic rock record - chances are that you will find a 44 ribbon mic used on most of your favorite albums. In studio use for more than 80 years, the 44 ribbon design by RCA is as rich in history as it is in sound and character. When the company s microphone division was closed down in 1976, we at AEA began servicing ribbon microphones, and by 1998 we were manufacturing 100% of the parts for the 44, resulting in the release of our very own version of this classic mic. Its recognizable sound produces thunderous lows due to the strong proximity effect, full and rich mids, and a unique top end taking the edge off of harsh instruments. This beautiful, natural-sounding microphone provides an unmatched authenticity of sonic reproduction, particularly when placed at a distance in a well-tuned room. History Repeating Forty years of servicing ribbon microphones has given AEA a lot of insight into why RCA 44s are still in daily use at world-class studios. Designed in the 1930s, the 44 was a groundbreaking revolution in recording technology. At a time when engineers had only one, maybe two microphones to record anything from a solo artist to an entire orchestra, studio mics had to deliver a great sound in every application. With its extended reach, reliability, and high fidelity sound, the 44 set a new quality standard for broadcast, recording, motion pictures, and sound reinforcement work. Even though ribbon mics fell out of fashion in the days of tape recording, many studios like Capitol Records or Warner kept their revered 44s in service. Since the advent of the digital revolution, the 44 is now back in demand more than ever. Reborn as the AEA R44, this mic is a permanent fixture in the studios of esteemed engineers and producers such as Bruce Swedien, Kevin Bacon, Shawn Murphy, and John Kurlander, and half the movies scored in Los Angeles now have an AEA 44 somewhere on the scoring stage. The R44 Microphone Family The AEA R44-series microphones all share the authentic sound, feel and look of the 1936-38 RCA 44BX. The R44 series microphones are all detailed, hand-crafted replicas, using parts that are made to be interchangeable with an original RCA 44. They even feature ribbon material originally manufactured for RCA. The original 44 microphones were constantly updated during their twenty years of production, and after carefully looking at some of the technical modifications, we at AEA decided to adopt the British engineering from RCA that reduces the mic's weight and hum sensitivity. The R44C was designed to meet or exceed the output of a brand-new RCA 44. It is a museum-quality replica, featuring a bronze investment cast yoke, superior to the original zinc yokes by RCA (which tend to corrode over time), a hand-polished cushion mount and a cloth-covered Accusound Silver Studio Pro cable. The R44CX is a high-output, red-badge version of the R44C, specially designed for scoring and other applications demanding a wide dynamic range with the classic 44 sound. The cost-effective R44CE features the exact same ribbon, transformer, and luscious sound as the R44C, but with a simpler, economical exterior trim. This version features a one-piece cushion mount, a formed steel yoke with satin nickel finish, and a star-quad XLR output cable. Finally, the R44CXE is the high output version of the R44CE combining the economical finish with the higher output of the R44CX. FEATURES - Museum grade reproduction of the RCA 44B/BX - New-old stock (NOS) RCA ribbon material - Legendary character with more than 80 years of studio history - Full and rich sound; smooth highs and warm lows - X motor option delivers 6 dB more dynamic range for film scoring |

 | A.e.a. Ku4 Ribbon Microphone Unidirectional Aea Rca
The KU4 has the unmistakable characteristics of a smooth ribbon sound, yet it is uniquely ...(+) The KU4 has the unmistakable characteristics of a smooth ribbon sound, yet it is uniquely different. Like other ribbons, its lightly-tensioned, ultra low mass ribbon has a frequency response beyond 20 kHz, an accurate transient response, and no upper midrange resonances common to large condenser mics. Having a supercardioid instead of a figure-eight polar response pattern mics sets it apart from other ribbon mics. The KU4's suppressed rear lobe reduces the pickup of room ambience and is especially useful when the rear of a figure-eight pattern would pick up undesirable sounds. The KU4's reduced bass proximity effect facilitates closer miking, while its low-tuned ribbon does not exhibit bass distortion. These characteristics make the KU4 well-suited for the modern studio. It is currently the only supercardioid ribbon microphone in commercial production. The KU4 is a re-vision of the legendary RCA KU3A, a unidirectional microphone originally designed for the Hollywood movie studios. Also known as the 10001 (for its RCA manufacturing number), it was RCA s most expensive ribbon microphone and fewer than 600 units were ever manufactured. The KU3A combined the smooth ribbon sound of a 44 with a unidirectional pattern, a wide sweet spot, and reduced proximity bass boost. Expanding an engineer's range of placement choices, it became a standard at film studios around the world. Today, however, the KU3A is a rare collector's item, and only a handful of studios or rental houses own them. The few lucky owners of vintage KU3As in great condition like Grammy-winning producer/engineer Kevin Augunas (Sound City Studios) treat their mics as little treasures. Original KU3As are notorious for their sonic inconsistencies due to production tolerances, so with the KU4, we at AEA engineered the microphone from the ground up in order to recreate this seminal design while ensuring flawless consistency from unit to unit. AEA is proud to put this microphone back into the hands of modern users. The KU4 is your ticket to discovering why RCA unidirectional ribbon microphones have been used in professional studios for over 60 years. AEA is honored to play a part in its history, and invites you to listen to the KU4 and claim your part of this legacy. The KU4 utilizes a medium sized ribbon unlike all other AEA mics. While AEA s Large Ribbon Geometry TM design offers advantages like extended bass response and maximum SPL level, the KU4 s shorter and narrower ribbon is characterized by a unique upper midrange presence that is particularly interesting for vocals and acoustic stringed instruments. Because of the shorter ribbon, the KU4 is much more similar to the venerable RCA 77 type microphone rather than the RCA 44. By comparison to the 77, the KU4 has a slightly longer ribbon, a fixed polar pattern, and a more natural sounding unidirectional mode. Compared to other non-bidirectional ribbon mics like the Beyer M160, the KU4 s ribbon is 50% longer providing better bass response and higher SPL handling capabilities. - Unidirectional (supercardioid) pickup pattern - Reduced proximity effect and room ambience - Extended top end with classic ribbon smoothness - Modern, consistent version of the RCA KU3A |
