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 like the Ethiopian krar or the Vietnamese đàn tranh.

The AEA R84 is brilliant in the traditional ribbon applications like brass, drum overheads and room mics, strings or when you want a vintage vibe. It’s so versatile.

The N22 was an amazing surprise, with a hint more top end, but smooth and more output it has been awesome on quieter instruments, acoustic guitars, but also guitar amps and even vocals. Both mics are total workhorses here. We rely on them to always deliver sonic awesomeness.”
