“Ribbon mics are certainly part of my toolbox, and AEA makes some of the best.”

“The AEA N22 we use on my amp live sounds killer!”

“I used to combine two or more mics per amp. With the N22, I don’t need to do that anymore.”

“I’m lovin the mics… the R44 is incredible on anything I put it on pretty much”

“I can’t say enough great things about how much of a workhorse [the N22] has been in my studio.”

“The N22 is one of the most musical microphones I’ve ever used.”

“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.”

“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.”

“As a trumpet player, there is no better choice than a ribbon microphone…”

” 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. ”

“The R92 has been one of my favorite work horses. I use it on everything from snare and electric guitar to vocals and percussion…”

“If you come to my studio, you’ll find the N8 situated right above my head as a mono overhead mic and the R84 next to my desk as an all purpose percussion mic…”

“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 [N22 and N8] seem to pick up pleasing character and intimacy to sources while leaving out the squirrely harshness of guitar amps and shrillness of cymbals.

“AEA Microphones, specifically the N8 Stereo Pair, coupled with the RPQ2, give me the exact warmth, transparency and detail that I had been searching for!”

“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.”
