“I absolutely love [the N28]. It sounds incredible. It’s the mic I have been waiting/asking for years. It’s a game changer! … I need to buy another one.”
Artists
Jim McMillen / Vitamin String Quartet
“The N28 turned out to be perfect for recording an acoustic guitar that sounded quite scratchy on the other mics. The N28 made it sound warm and smooth without having to use EQ…”

Alan Meyerson / Composer (Dune, The Dark Knight, Iron Man)
“It’s lovely; I used it on an ethnic flute as a close stereo. On percussion overhead it was nice and transient-y… It’s warm and lovely with beautiful imaging. Definitely a worthy addition to my mic collection.”

The Ruen Brothers
“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…”
Artists
Mark Rubel / The Blackbird Academy
“As we often do here with RCA’s, it paired beautifully on electric guitar with a dynamic, though it sounds great by itself. It is also stellar on trumpet. I look forward to adding a KU5A to the arsenal!”

Mitch Dane / Sputnik Sound, Jars of Clay, Nate Allman
“I’ve been using the RCA BK5 on guitars for years, but after hearing the AEA KU5A, it will be my new mic on guitar amps! So much clarity, depth, and punch! Amazing!”
Artists
Rob Schnapf / Elliott Smith, Dr. Dog, Booker T. Jones
“I dig the KU5A on snare. Beef and snap. Good rejection. Sounded real good and natural. It was all there.”
Artists
Caleb Parker / Scary Pockets
“The KU5A fills a hole in my mic locker I didn’t know I had. The supercardioid pattern is spot on and the frequency response is super smooth. I’ve been using it on vocals and snare and am loving it.”

Jamie Mefford / Nathaniel Rateliff, Jamestown Revival
“They rarely get unplugged, but instead move around the room as tracking happens…”

Mark Egan / Pat Metheny, Elements
“…I suspect there isn’t a sound an AEA can’t conquer. I won’t do a session without them.”

Kristian Nord / The Great Escape
“…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.”

Kevin Rice/ Mic Posner, Christina Perri
“…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.”
Artists
Jeremy Zuckerman / Legend of Korra, Echo Society
“I use the N8 and N22 on just about everything at this point. Their silky, smooth, yet detailed sound gets me a great recording that sits well in the mix every time, whether I’m recording strings, guitar, piano, winds, voice…”
Artists
Jeff Tweedy / Wilco
“I love the AEA N22. We’ve used it on almost every electric guitar track I’ve recorded since getting that mic…”
Artists
Steve Albini / Nirvana, Pixies, Breeders
“Whatever, these mics are terrific and I like them a lot.”
Artists
Adam Granduciel / The War On Drugs
“The N8’s and the N22’s have become pretty much the standard for both the band’s touring set up and day to day recording in my studio.”
Artists
Darrell Thorp / Radiohead, Beck, Paul McCartney
“[The N8] has depth, detail, and bottom end for days. So much focus and tone from one phantom powered ribbon mic…”
