With its front-address design and integrated yoke-style mount, the matte black AEA Ribbon Mics KU5A active ribbon microphone offers easy positioning along with condenser-like performance, a winning combination for close-ranging recording of vocals, acoustic instruments, and speaker cabinets. In addition to its custom transformer, which helps the KU5A achieve high output and low noise, the mic has a switchable high-pass filter, a feature seldom found on ribbon mics. Being a near-field ribbon, the KU5A provides reduced proximity effect to make it ideal for placement up close on the source. Its supercardioid polar pattern exhibits directional pickup traits and strong rejection of off-axis sound such as bleed and room reflections. The 9.8′ attached cable is terminated with a standard XLR 3-pin male connector for hookup to virtually any microphone preamp; 48V phantom power is required to power the mic’s active electronics.
