AEA R92 Near-field Ribbon Microphone
Estimated delivery in Italy between 29 June and 6 July
Near-field ribbon microphone
The AEA R92 is a dual-tone near-field ribbon microphone that offers a classic ribbon character. Similar in sound to the AEA R84, but with a more pronounced midrange and minimized proximity effect, the AEA R92 performs brilliantly close to brass, guitar amps, kick drum, and percussion.
One side of the AEA R92 produces a distinct tonality from the other, essentially providing two microphones in one option on different sources. When integrated with a brighter signal, the AEA R92 serves to balance the scales in a mix with its low-end clarity and warm midrange.
With its dual sonic character, the AEA R92 offers unlimited creative options. The front side offers a crisp sound signature, tailored to sound bright. The rear side is darker and smoother. It is ideal for taming harsh sounds such as trumpets and strings in a refined and flattering way. The microphone's bass reproduction extends down to the lowest audible bass frequencies.
