NT5 Reviews
The NT5 pair I use on Acoustic guitars, string sections, and sometimes just atmosphere from the room. One problem, keep your eyes on the musicians. They will put this one in their back pocket after the session
Bootsy Collins
The RØDEs really have excellent directivity and rejection. I recorded with no eq or compression and got a super sound.
Jim Decicco
PRODUCER (LINKIN PARK, ICE-T)
Bright, complex sounds such as small bells were handled well, with no obvious intermodulation distortion, while acoustic guitars came over with plenty of depth and detail. Noise was never evident.

Using everything Wes Dooley and the team here at AEA had learned by re-creating the RCA 44, we went back to the drawing board to create something completely new. Call it a Swiss army knife, your “desert island mic”, or simply “The Workhorse” – the R84 was designed to be flexible and practical in a myriad of recording settings. With the improvements in technology and manufacturing since the thirties and forties, we decided to re-engineer the entire package to be more efficient, lighter and less expensive, inspiring Wes to affectionately call the R84 the “R44 for us married guys”. The result is a new microphone with a classic sound. The R84 produces rich and full low-mids, a smooth top end, and has a well-behaved bidirectional pickup pattern. These aspects, combined with the reduced proximity effect, make the R84 incredibly well-suited for both close-up and ambient mic applications in medium sized rooms. It’s just as versatile as an R44, flattering voice, strings, brass and drums alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Big Ribbon for a Big Sound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AEA R84 uses a big, 2.35″ by 0.185″ by 2 micron pure aluminum low-tension ribbon element just like the classic R44. Many ribbon mic manufacturers choose shorter ribbons that are easier to install, but AEA’s Large Ribbon Geometry TM design offers important advantages. Ribbon microphones operate linearly above their resonant frequency, unlike condenser or moving-coil transducers, so the resonant frequency of a good microphone design should be as low as possible. The longer the ribbon, the lower the resonant frequency will be. The ribbon has to move twice as far for every drop in octave as it vibrates within the magnetic gap, thus a longer ribbon will allow for further movement back and forth. This results in the ribbon handling louder sound sources and more sound pressure level (SPL). Most AEA ribbons are tuned to 16.5 Hz, and because the R84 shares the same Big Ribbon™ as the rest of AEA’s product line, you will achieve a sound that is smooth, natural and free from any of the uncomfortable resonances that shorter ribbons and condensers can exhibit. The result is a sound that many engineers say is astonishingly close to what their ears hear when you’re actually standing in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs_content micro_content\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"specs_left micro_content_left\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs_content_left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"operating_heading_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-operating-principle field-type-text field-label-above\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOperating Principle: Pressure gradient microphone\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs_field\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-directional-pattern field-type-text field-label-above\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eDirectional Pattern: Bidirectional (Figure-of-8)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-frequency-response-decs field-type-text field-label-above\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eFrequency Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-maximum-spl field-type-text field-label-above\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eMaximum SPL: 165+ dBSPL (1% third harmonic \u0026gt;

Still today, his coincident recording technique using two figure-of-8 ribbons is the benchmark for producing an authentic representation of a performance in a room. The R88 mk2 stereo microphone is a true Blumlein recording system optimized for recording instruments and ensembles in stereo. It utilizes two of AEA’s signature Big RibbonTM elements angled at 90 degrees and mounted in close proximity to each other along the vertical axis of the microphone. The natural soundstage and character of the R88’s Blumlein stereo make it a great main mic. As an alternative to the Blumlein (XY) technique, the microphone can also be used for MS stereo, providing excellent mono compatibility and full control over the width of the stereo image. An excellent orchestral and choral recording microphone, it also shines on applications such as horn sections and drum overheads, thanks to the pure sound of two undamped long ribbons and the passive circuit without the headroom limitations of active electronics. The R88 accurately records complex tones such as woodwinds, strings and cymbals.Whether it’s at Abbey Road or in your home studio, the R88 mk2 puts the listener right there with the performers in the recording room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"520\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S-U_9ahQ3-k\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Grammy-Winning Package\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe list of Grammy and Academy Award winning projects recorded with the help of the R88 mk2 microphone is long and keeps growing: Turtle Island String Quartet, Los Tigres Del Norte, Juanes MTV Unplugged, Life Of Pi soundtrack to name but a few. The matched Blumlein pair of ribbons packaged in a sleek black shell designed for quick setup delivers a great sound right off the bat, making it an excellent choice for remote recording setups. As a drum overhead or room pick-up microphone, it instantly captures a punchy, “larger than life” image that is particularly well suited for rock, roots, Americana, and jazz genres. Seasoned engineers like Joe Chiccarelli, Chuck Ainlay or Vance Powell trust the AEA R88 mk2 so much that Nashville’s world-class Blackbird Studios now has an R88 available for every single room in their facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA Big Ribbon for a Big Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the AEA R88 are two big, 2.35″ by 0.185″ by 2 micron pure aluminum low-tension ribbon elements just like the one used in the classic R44. Many ribbon mic manufacturers choose shorter ribbons that are easier to install, but AEA’s Large Ribbon Geometry TM design offers important advantages. Ribbon microphones operate linearly above their resonant frequency, unlike condenser or moving-coil transducers, so the resonant frequency of a good ribbon microphone design should be as low as possible. The longer the ribbon, the lower the resonant frequency will be. The ribbon has to move twice as far for every drop in octave as it vibrates within the magnetic gap, thus a longer ribbon will allow for further movement back and forth. This results in the ribbon handling louder sound sources and more sound pressure level (SPL).

Still today, his coincident recording technique using two figure-of-8 ribbons is the benchmark for producing an authentic representation of a performance in a room. The R88 mk2 stereo microphone is a true Blumlein recording system optimized for recording instruments and ensembles in stereo. It utilizes two of AEA’s signature Big RibbonTM elements angled at 90 degrees and mounted in close proximity to each other along the vertical axis of the microphone. The natural soundstage and character of the R88’s Blumlein stereo make it a great main mic. As an alternative to the Blumlein (XY) technique, the microphone can also be used for MS stereo, providing excellent mono compatibility and full control over the width of the stereo image. An excellent orchestral and choral recording microphone, it also shines on applications such as horn sections and drum overheads, thanks to the pure sound of two undamped long ribbons and the passive circuit without the headroom limitations of active electronics. The R88 accurately records complex tones such as woodwinds, strings and cymbals.Whether it’s at Abbey Road or in your home studio, the R88 mk2 puts the listener right there with the performers in the recording room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"520\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S-U_9ahQ3-k\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Grammy-Winning Package\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe list of Grammy and Academy Award winning projects recorded with the help of the R88 mk2 microphone is long and keeps growing: Turtle Island String Quartet, Los Tigres Del Norte, Juanes MTV Unplugged, Life Of Pi soundtrack to name but a few. The matched Blumlein pair of ribbons packaged in a sleek black shell designed for quick setup delivers a great sound right off the bat, making it an excellent choice for remote recording setups. As a drum overhead or room pick-up microphone, it instantly captures a punchy, “larger than life” image that is particularly well suited for rock, roots, Americana, and jazz genres. Seasoned engineers like Joe Chiccarelli, Chuck Ainlay or Vance Powell trust the AEA R88 mk2 so much that Nashville’s world-class Blackbird Studios now has an R88 available for every single room in their facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA Big Ribbon for a Big Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the AEA R88 are two big, 2.35″ by 0.185″ by 2 micron pure aluminum low-tension ribbon elements just like the one used in the classic R44. Many ribbon mic manufacturers choose shorter ribbons that are easier to install, but AEA’s Large Ribbon Geometry TM design offers important advantages. Ribbon microphones operate linearly above their resonant frequency, unlike condenser or moving-coil transducers, so the resonant frequency of a good ribbon microphone design should be as low as possible. The longer the ribbon, the lower the resonant frequency will be. The ribbon has to move twice as far for every drop in octave as it vibrates within the magnetic gap, thus a longer ribbon will allow for further movement back and forth. This results in the ribbon handling louder sound sources and more sound pressure level (SPL). Most AEA ribbons are tuned to just 16.5 Hz, and because the R88 shares the same Big Ribbon™ as the rest of AEA’s product line, you will achieve a sound that is smooth, natural and free from any of the uncomfortable resonances that shorter ribbons and condensers can exhibit. The result is a sound that many engineers say is astonishingly close to what their ears hear when they are actually standing in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs_content micro_content\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"specs_left micro_content_left\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs_content_left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"operating_heading_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-operating-principle field-type-text field-label-above\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eOperating Principle: Pressure gradient microphone\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs_field\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-directional-pattern field-type-text field-label-above\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eDirectional Pattern: Bidirectional (Figure-of-8)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-frequency-response-decs field-type-text field-label-above\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eFrequency Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-maximum-spl field-type-text field-label-above\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eMaximum SPL: 165+ dBSPL (1% third harmonic \u0026gt;

{"id":4887294532,"title":"AEA R92","handle":"aea-r92-ribbon-mic","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Guitar Player’s Favorite, The Up-Close and Personal Ribbon. \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilding on the success of AEA’s acclaimed R84 ribbon microphone, Wes Dooley and AEA’s team of engineers set out to once again expand the sonic possibilities of ribbon microphones with the R92 model. Reduced proximity bass boost and excellent wind blast protection make it suitable for close miking of guitar and bass amps, drums, and vocals. At half the distance to the source, the R92 delivers a similar bass-to-treble balance as the R84. In addition, the integrated shockmount and swivel allow for easy setup and positioning in tight spaces. The smooth high frequency response of the R88 and R84 transducers has been further extended in the R92, making it a unique voice in the world of ribbon mics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo Voicings - Endless Possibilities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAEA has designed the R92 to have slightly different tones on the front and rear pickup lobes of the bidirectional microphone. The front lobe of the R92 is the \"crisp\" side, offering exceptionally clean and realistic high end detail. The rear lobe is the \"smooth\" side, which has a bit of classic ribbon high end roll-off reminiscent of the iconic 44 that can help to handle harsh transients in a very refined and flattering way. The bass reproduction of the R92 is very solid and extends to the lowest audible bass frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Guitar Player’s Favorite\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all figure-of-8 microphones the R44 or R84 ribbons are subject to proximity effect - the increase in bass as you move the microphone closer to the source. While this effect can be particularly flattering for singers and to create a “larger than life” sound, it can get too much and overpowering in some recording situations. The guitar players on our staff asked for a ribbon microphone that captured an authentic and balanced electric guitar tone when put right onto the grill of his Fender amp. Thanks to its purely passive signal path and Wes’ bag of acoustic tricks, the R92 not only handles the SPL levels of a high-gain amp with ease, but it also translates all the gritty details of the distortion that you’ve been tweaking so carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" class=\"specs_content micro_content\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"specs_left micro_content_left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs_content_left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"operating_heading_text\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-operating-principle field-type-text field-label-above\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eOperating Principle: Pressure gradient microphone\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs_field\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-directional-pattern field-type-text field-label-above\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eDirectional Pattern: Bidirectional (Figure-of-8)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-frequency-response-decs field-type-text field-label-above\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eFrequency Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-maximum-spl field-type-text field-label-above\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eMaximum SPL: 165+ dBSPL (1% third harmonic \u0026gt;

Reduced proximity bass boost and excellent wind blast protection make it suitable for close miking of guitar and bass amps, drums, and vocals. At half the distance to the source, the R92 delivers a similar bass-to-treble balance as the R84. In addition, the integrated shockmount and swivel allow for easy setup and positioning in tight spaces. The smooth high frequency response of the R88 and R84 transducers has been further extended in the R92, making it a unique voice in the world of ribbon mics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo Voicings - Endless Possibilities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAEA has designed the R92 to have slightly different tones on the front and rear pickup lobes of the bidirectional microphone. The front lobe of the R92 is the \"crisp\" side, offering exceptionally clean and realistic high end detail. The rear lobe is the \"smooth\" side, which has a bit of classic ribbon high end roll-off reminiscent of the iconic 44 that can help to handle harsh transients in a very refined and flattering way. The bass reproduction of the R92 is very solid and extends to the lowest audible bass frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Guitar Player’s Favorite\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all figure-of-8 microphones the R44 or R84 ribbons are subject to proximity effect - the increase in bass as you move the microphone closer to the source. While this effect can be particularly flattering for singers and to create a “larger than life” sound, it can get too much and overpowering in some recording situations. The guitar players on our staff asked for a ribbon microphone that captured an authentic and balanced electric guitar tone when put right onto the grill of his Fender amp. Thanks to its purely passive signal path and Wes’ bag of acoustic tricks, the R92 not only handles the SPL levels of a high-gain amp with ease, but it also translates all the gritty details of the distortion that you’ve been tweaking so carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" class=\"specs_content micro_content\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"specs_left micro_content_left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs_content_left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"operating_heading_text\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-operating-principle field-type-text field-label-above\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eOperating Principle: Pressure gradient microphone\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs_field\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-directional-pattern field-type-text field-label-above\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eDirectional Pattern: Bidirectional (Figure-of-8)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-frequency-response-decs field-type-text field-label-above\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eFrequency Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-maximum-spl field-type-text field-label-above\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eMaximum SPL: 165+ dBSPL (1% third harmonic \u0026gt;
