"...I love that the R88 is phase coherent, just point and shoot and you’re good to go. That way I can just worry about the important stuff like making interesting music."
"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."
"Their size, shape, and weight make them far easier to place than the bulkier ribbons I’m used to. The N8s are the closest thing to a perfect ribbon mic I’ve heard."
" AEA Mics make everything sound larger then life , they capture harmonic information like nothing else. Now that I have heard the, I couldn't Imagine working without them. "
"AEA mics are my first line of defense in the war against boring, sterile sounds. You will not find a finer example of the intersection of craftsmanship and sonic truth."
“The R88 is a magic microphone and captures music in a unique way that I've come to rely on. I use it on drums, acoustic guitar, piano, and any instrument I want to sound like it's in the room with the listener.”
“I use my R88 on every record I make. It’s often found over or around the drum kit, on piano, used as an ensemble mic to capture a stereo spread, and even on acoustic guitar. I love it and couldn’t imagine not having it around."
"I love my R88! The stereo imaging is incredible and the depth of field I can achieve in my recordings is pretty stunning. The top end is beautifully natural sounding, especially for drum overheads and piano."
"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."
"The R88’s got such a great stereo image without a hole in the middle, it just seems like its full all the way across and vibrant and lively sounding."
