“The [N8s] sound absolutely phenomenal!! It’s shocking to tell you the truth. The mic sound is so honest, so close to what the drums sound like. I couldn’t be more satisfied.”

“[With the N8s] there was an openness that I’ve just never really heard quite so ‘naturally’ before. And there was a depth that these gave, too, that was just astonishing.”

“[The N8] has also shone on anything where some girth and low-end and low-mid tilt were called for: small or nasal-sounding vocals; horns; drum overheads recording bright cymbals; tink-y percussion.”

“The R44 was my go-to while recording Club Meds. Vocals, acoustic guitars, pianos, electric organ, horns, you name it. Stereo pair or mono. I love how buttery it is. My favourite mic that I own!”

“I tried the AEA N22 on a wide range of sources and it always sounded good, which means that artists recording with the N22 will never deliver a bad sounding recording to me!”

“We also used the A440 on the amazing French vocalist, Cyrille Aimee, where it sounded huge. Perfect for her voice on this hot club project. She fell in love with the mic!”

“[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.”

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

“The RPQ500 has left me reaching for a ribbon over a dynamic mic every time I record guitars.”

“The R88 has become an indispensable tool in my mic collection… it is always somewhere in my orchestral brass setups.”

“The RPQ500 lets my ribbon microphones be themselves without too much unwanted color and noise”

“The N8 has wonderful natural sonic characteristics… a very focused tone that captures acoustic instruments like no other mic I own.”

“[N8s] give me the sound exactly the way I want to capture it, which, to me, is the very definition of a ‘dream’ microphone.”

“The R88 is beyond belief! It makes every room in my house like a perfect room…A really joyous mic!”

“The R44 through the RPQ2 is one of my favorite chains lately. It sounds absolutely incredible…”

“The AEA R88 made it possible for me to record an entire band around one microphone.”

“[AEA Ribbons] have that characteristically smooth, warm ribbon sound, I use [them] on everything…”
