Description

The AEA R84A is an active ribbon microphone renowned for its warm, natural sound and exceptional versatility in both studio and live settings. Building on the classic ribbon design, the R84A features active electronics, making it compatible with a wider range of preamps and delivering a higher output level. This design ensures low noise and consistent performance, even with long cable runs, making it a favorite among engineers for vocals, instruments, and orchestral recordings.

With its smooth top end, rich midrange, and extended low-frequency response, the R84A captures audio with remarkable detail and depth. Its figure-eight polar pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection, allowing for creative placement and effective isolation of sound sources. Whether used for voice, strings, brass, or guitar amps, the R84A offers a classic ribbon character with the added convenience and reliability of modern active circuitry.
