AEA R84 Passive Ribbon Microphone
The AEA R84 is a high-quality passive ribbon microphone that delivers the classic sound of vintage RCA ribbons in a more compact and versatile format. It shares the sonic heritage of the R44 series but offers a more modern and flexible approach for everyday studio use.
Compared to the R44, the R84 is lighter, easier to position and better suited for close to mid-field applications, making it a highly practical ribbon microphone for a wide range of recording situations.
It features a hand-crafted 1.8 µm aluminium ribbon and is fully manufactured in the USA.
Sound Character
The R84 delivers a warm, natural and well-balanced ribbon sound with classic character and modern openness.
- Low-end: full and rounded
- Mids: warm, detailed and musical
- Highs: smooth and slightly more open
Compared to the R44, the R84 has a slightly more open tonal balance, making it more versatile across different sources.
Its strong proximity effect allows for powerful close-miking, while naturally smoothing harsh transients.
