“My absolute favorite combo on my upright pianos, mallet instruments, and reed organs are an R88 with the RPQ.”
Chris Eldrige / Punch Brothers, The Seldom Scene
“I’m loving the R84 – it’s such a great sounding mic! Music just sounds good through it.”
Joe Chiccarelli / The White Stripe, The Strokes
“I used the AEA R84 on recent sessions for vocal [and guitars]. It just kept on sounding better and better. It’s very bright and open with an extended low end…”
John Kurlander / Lord of the Rings, Beatles
“The N8 has a fantastically full and natural tone, and can easily and safely be hoisted above an orchestra.”
Terri Winston / WAM, Kronos Quartet, Angelique Kidjo
“Women’s Audio Mission’s studio clients are incredibly diverse and the AEA R84 and N22 are in constant use. They get a ton of love here at WAM. From miking up loud guitar amps to string quartets to horn sections to delicate instruments…”
Gus Borner / Pixar, Marvel, Deadpool
“We used the KU5A on cello spot on Deadpool 2’ orchestra sessions and loved it. Having a supercardioid ribbon like this opens a lot of new possibilities. You can now dig in but still get the characteristic ribbon sound.”
Ross Garfield / Drum Doctors
“When I heard the drums and found out that it was just the single mic over my head, the R88, I was blown away.”
Jon Castelli / Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Kesha
“The R88 is the most realistic mic I’ve ever used. I still get confused if during playback the piano is coming out of the speakers or if the pianist is still playing in the room.”
Alex Chaloff / The AEA Sessions
“The RPQ2 takes my AEA microphones to the next level. There’s gain for days and it’s insanely quiet.”
