AEA R84A Das AEA R84A unterscheidet sich von anderen Mikrofonen. Einmal gehört, besticht das AEA R84A durch seinen großen, klaren Klang. Es ist ein ideales Stützmikrofon mit seiner engen Richtcharakteristik, glatt verlängertem top und weniger Nahbeschprechungseffekt, als bei dem R44 und A440. Das AEA R84A verarbeitet mühelos eine breite Palette von Anwendungen, vom leise gehauchten Akzent bis hin zu einem ganzen Ensemble. AEA AEA R84A Merkmale: High Output Kompatibilität mit allen Vorverstärkern und Eingangsquellen Geringes Eigenrauschen von 17,5 dB (A) Schnelle, präzise Reproduktion von Transienten Hohe Leistungsfähigkeit der SPL 141 dB Single-Membran mit gut kontrollierten, native Figur-8-Richtcharakteristik Wide-Band-Antwort von unter 20 Hz bis über 20 kHz Das AEA R84A und andere AEA Big Bändchenmikrofone sind hervorragende digitale Aufnahme-Tools. Digitale Aufnahmen haben andere Einschränkungen als analoge. Der digitale Aufnahme-Prozess ist in der Lage gestochen scharfe Details für Generationen zu erhalten. So macht es Sinn, Mikrofone, die sich gut in den finalen Mix einfügen lassen, von Anfang an nutzen. AEA Big Ribbon Mikrofone mit ihrem weichen, natürlichen, easy-to-EQ Sound erleben im Zuge der Digitalisierung eine Wiedergeburt. Über 30 Jahre Erfahrung mit Bändchenmikrofonen hat AEA gezeigt worauf es wirklich ankommt und was die Nutzer wollen. Und sie alle lieben den großen Klang des RCA 44. Die Erhaltung und Wiedereinführung dieses Sounds wurde für AEA zur Mission. Die AEA R44 und A440s sind robust, schwer und teuer in der Herstellung. Jetzt sind sie im täglichen Einsatz weltweit. Aber das ist erst der Anfang der Geschichte. Wie kann AEA den Big Ribbon Sound zu einem erschwinglichen Preis bewahren und aktualisieren in Zeiten dieser neuen Technologien?  Das AEA R84A nutzt die gleichen, großen Bändchen wie das A440, ist jedoch 5 Kilo leichter und weniger sperrig. Aufgrund seiner aktiven JFET Impedanz Puffer-Schaltung ist das neue AEA R84A unempfindlich gegen niedrige Preamp Eingangsimpedanzen. Die hohe Leistungs-Empfindlichkeit reduziert Störgeräusche und ermöglicht lange Kabel Strecken. Dies erlaubt Ihnen, Ihre Lieblings-Röhrenvorstufe zu verwenden ohne dabei auf den klassischen Bändchen Sound verzichten zu müssen. Konzipiert für Akzent-und Solo-Arbeit, ist sein Bass Nahbesprechungseffekt weniger ausgeprägt und die obere 10 bis 20 kHz Oktave wird besser wiedergegeben als bei dem A440. Warum klingen die AEA Big Bändchenmikrofone verglichen mit anderen Mikrofonen deutlich anders? Klassische Kondensator Membranen sind radial gestreckt. Sie haben typischerweise eine scharfe, schmale Resonanz im 8 bis 12 kHz-Bereich, die Klangqualität wird als "Tizz" bezeichnet. AEA Big Bändchenmikrofone haben eine lange rechteckige Membran, die nur an den Enden eingespannt ist und dadurch nur eine leichte Resonanz unter 20 Hz. Weniger als 80 Millionstel Zentimeter dick, haben AEA's Ultra Low Mass Transducer einen erweitertem Bass Bereich, ein ausgezeichnetes Impulsverhalten und wenig Resonanzen. Es ist eine der empfindlichsten und präzisesten Übertragungen möglich. Viele haben kommentiert, dass AEA Mikrofon Aufnahmen genau das wiedergeben, was das menschliche Ohr hört. Hervorragende Kopffreiheit und geringe Verzerrungen ermöglichen eine enge Mikrofonierung mit einem A840, ohne dabei spröde zu klingen. Zusätzlich werden die glatten, nicht-resonanten High-End-EQs verbaut, die Ingenieuren eine beträchtliche Flexibilität bieten. Probieren Sie es aus, Sie werden es genießen.

AEA R88 MK2 Stereo Bändchenmikrofon The new R88 MK2 features the same pure BigRibbon sound in a new shockmount that is easier to position.  The AEA R88 MK2 Stereo Ribbon Microphone is a stereo pair of AEA R84's in one capsule! It utilizes the same basic LRG and acoustic structure as the AEA R44CNE, and delivers that "big ribbon" sound for Stereo applications. Wes Dooley has extensive experience in multi-mic and stereo recording. His experiences in North America, Europe, Africa and New Zealand led him to develop portable recording tools such as multi-channel microphone arrays, MS stereo processors, stereo phase displays and very tall microphone stands. Now he has developed an exceptional stereo ribbon mic! The AEA R88 MK2 is designed to be a higher performance microphone with less internal shielding since it's not intended for close micing situations. The R88 MK2 has been optimized for stereo instrument and ensemble recording. The R88's two ribbon motors are oriented at 90 degrees, and have excellent off-axis frequency response. The R88 MK2 uses the large ribbon configuration of the classic RCA 44 series mics, which gives the mic solid 20Hz bass response and a smooth high end which is flattering to complex tones such as cymbals, strings, and woodwinds. The R88 MK2 is very useful for chamber music, drum overheads, stereo piano pickup, horn sections, and most any coincident stereo pickup application. The high quality passive electronics in the R88 MK2 ensure a huge dynamic range with minimal distortion, but the R88 will sound best with a preamp that has at least 60dB of clean gain, low noise floor (-127dB EIN or better) and input impedance of at least 1.5 kOhm.   The R88 MK2 is minimally protected from wind blasts for the most natural sound quality possible, so a pop filter should be used when making close vocal recordings. The R88 MK2 may be used for both Blumlein stereo and M-S Stereo recording techniques. The mic is finished in Stealth black to reduce visibility in live recording situations, and features an integral shock suspension to reduce noise coupled through the mic stand.
