Assembled to make studio and home recording easier, this AEA Ribbon Mics NUVO N13 Active Mid-Field Ribbon Microphone Kit from B&H adds a tripod microphone stand with telescoping boom and an XLR microphone cable. This kit is great for recording drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, horns, and strings as well as a variety of instrument sound sources.
With sparkling highs and smooth lows, the N13 Active Ribbon Microphone from AEA Ribbon Mics is the mid-field entry to AEA's NUVO series, offering a ribbon mic for small and medium rooms with less than optimal acoustics. Ideal for drums, acoustic guitar, piano, horns, and strings, the N13 is highly tuned for the capture of transients.
The bidirectional ribbon in the N13 is AEA's smallest and thinnest ribbon yet at a mere 1.2 microns. This helps enhance transient response while ensuring optimal mid-field performance, allowing the mic to roll-off some low end and add clarity to your sound at distances of 1 to 3'. This lighter ribbon also reduces the intensity of the proximity effect, making it ideal for instrument recording. The low-profile design with a slate gray finish helps to ensure discreet placement, an especially useful feature for live broadcast scenarios. This microphone is 100% handcrafted in Pasadena, California and includes a mic stand clip, a storage case, and a custom protective mic sleeve.
Enter the N13, an equally sleek active ribbon designed with some distinctly different considerations in mind. At once open and natural, the N13 excels at medium-distance miking applications while demonstrating an impressive transient response. The N13 features a new motor design as well as a thinner, smaller ribbon (1.2 microns, rather than AEA's standard 1.8), making it their first non-big ribbon bidirectional mic.
Even when used up close, such as on horns or vocals, the N13 delivers exceptional clarity while also taking EQ extremely well. The N13’s unobtrusive size and dark slate gray finish is ideal for live orchestral and TV work, where microphones need to be both inconspicuous and easy to position.
The black 210/9 Tripod Microphone Stand with Telescoping Boom from K&M is a height adjustable stand with a 17.1 to 29.3" telescoping boom arm. The microphone stand offers sturdy support for live sound, theater, rehearsal, and recording applications. It features a clutch to allow you to raise the stand height from 35.4 to 63.2" and a 5/8" thread for mounting microphones (available separately).
The black, 25' Mogami Gold Studio XLR Female to XLR Male Microphone Cable is a high-quality, 4-conductor cable engineered for maximum rejection of RFI and EMI, accurate signal transmission with low noise, and durability. It uses the company's Neglex twisted, double-conductor quad cable with a spiral, bare copper shield, which is effective in maintaining signal integrity, even when used with unbalanced equipment, in professional or home studios suffering from wiring and grounding problems.
The cable is terminated with black-body, gold-plated XLR connectors, and features a 0.236" diameter jacket, ideal for applications where a small-diameter quad mic cable is required.
