"The AEA R84A has generated new creative ideas for us. It sounds different to our other mics and has become our go-to for anything we want to sound cool but natural..."

"They rarely get unplugged, but instead move around the room as tracking happens..."

"...I suspect there isn’t a sound an AEA can’t conquer. I won’t do a session without them."

"...I suspect there isn’t a sound an AEA can’t conquer. I won’t do a session without them."

"The R84 is aces across the board with sound quality. Musically capturing exactly what I'm looking for and built like a tank!"

"My N22 has turned out to be an incredible bass amp mic…to such an extent that I won’t record bass without it."

"There are very few pieces of equipment that can handle the amount of tasks I put the KU5A up against. It handled all of them effortlessly with the perfect amount of clarity and enjoyable qualities. It’s a winner, hands down."

"The R84 has made a ribbon believer out of me. Never before have I heard a ribbon mic sound so good on so many things: strings, brass, acoustic guitar, choir, even solo voice."

"Whether I'm at any one of the major Hollywood scoring stages or in a small or home studio, I record with AEA ribbon mics in almost every session."

"The 44 is easily my favorite mic for capturing a true representation of any instrument. I find that it has the ability to grab every detail of an entire drum kit without the need for any close mics."

"We credit much of our sound in the studio to AEA microphones. They have shaped our sound from the very beginning, and without them our record wouldn't have had quite the same character and earnestness. "

"These have become my desert island ribbons."

"The N8 provides the best focus mics I’ve ever heard; they blend into the main array as butter."

"[The R84] is one of my top go-to mics for lead vocals, especially highly dynamic singers who can generate some harsh upper midrange in louder sections."

“The silky and transparent sound of the N8 makes it the perfect microphone for recording acoustic music. The N8’s almost crystalline quality allows you to forget the microphone is even there."

"My absolute favorite combo on my upright pianos, mallet instruments, and reed organs are an R88 with the RPQ."

"I'm loving the R84 - it's such a great sounding mic! Music just sounds good through it."

"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…"
