AEA Ribbon Mics R92 Near-Field Ribbon Microphone

A more compact, lightweight, and affordable version of the R84 ribbon mic with less proximity effect and distinctive tonality on the front and back sides, the USA-made AEA Ribbon Mics R92 is a versatile solution for engineers, producers, and musicians in need of a smooth, rich, and warm-sounding near-field ribbon mic that can handle extreme SPLs and an array of voices and instruments. Utilizing a 2.35" long ribbon and a bidirectional figure-8 polar pattern, the R92 delivers vintage ribbon character and two different sonic signatures—bright via the front and dark via the rear—with up to 90 dB of rejection at the sides.
