Offering the robust sound of a traditional side-address large-ribbon mic in a compact and lightweight form factor designed for near-field use, the AEA Ribbon Mics NUVO N22 active ribbon microphone is ideal for up-close capture of anything from vocals and nuanced acoustic instruments to loud amps and pounding drums, in the studio or on the stage. The inclusion of a custom transformer helps the NUVO N22 achieve a strong output level while retaining low-noise performance.
As a near-field ribbon, the NUVO N22 provides reduced proximity effect and balanced tonality to make it ideal for placement from 1 to 18" away from the source. Its figure-8 polar pattern exhibits the classic pickup traits and side-rejection qualities associated with ribbon mics. A standard XLR 3-pin male connector is on the mic for hookup to virtually any microphone preamp; 48V phantom power is required to power the mic's active electronics.
The extra output is a major advantage when recording quiet sources like vocals and soft acoustic guitars. The active circuitry also prevents noise and interference on long cable runs and when operating near large lighting rigs.
From outdoor gigs at music festivals to indoor theaters, NUVO mics are the perfect companion to bring the sound of studio recordings to the live stage. With the optional NUVO windscreen, never worry about the ribbon, even at windy gigs.
