Powered Version of a Studio Favorite!

The exciting AEA A840 is a powered version of the acclaimed R84 microphone. Now, you can get that luscious ribbon sound, only with the benefit of a hotter signal that gives you a lot more versatility — both in how you use it and what preamplifier you use it with. With an outstanding clear, natural sound, the A840 is going to become your first-call pick on a number of sources — from vocals to brass instruments to strings, piano, percussion, and beyond. When you're wanting that "big ribbon sound," you won't believe your ears when you put up AEA's A840!

  • Powered version of the R84
