The R92!
In the past few years AEA's acclaimed R84 Ribbon Microphone has become a new studio standard. Now AEA has once again expanded the sonic possibilities of ribbon mics with the R92 Ribbon Microphone. Reduced proximity bass boost and excellent wind blast protection make it suitable for close micing (6-12 inches) of guitar amps, vocals, percussion, etc. In addition, the smooth high frequency response of the R88 transducer has been further extended in the R92, making the R92 a unique voice in the world of ribbon mics.

AEA has designed the R92 to have slightly different tones on the front and rear pickup lobes of the 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"

The R92 is intended for amplifier, instrument, and vocal micing applications. Its proximity effect is well-balanced for close-up use. A smooth extended high-end lets instrumental tracks fit well into a mix with little or no EQ. A flexible positioning system and integrated shockmount make the R92 a breeze to setup and use. A captive 2-meter xlr mic cable, and a foam lined carrying/storage case are included.

R92 Features:

Large Ribbon Geometry transducer
Solid bass and smooth treble response
Fast, accurate transient reproduction
Low self noise and high SPL capability
Excellent off-axis frequency response
Wide-band response from 20Hz to 20 KHz
Distinct character of front and rear lobes

AEA R92
by Dan G. from Seattle WA, October 01, 2005

“I'd been interested in trying a ribbon mike on my jazz guitar recordings. I generally use a Polytone Mini Brute miked with a condenser, amplifiying my Guild Artist Award and Gibson L-5.

After finishing my first album, I decided that the results were too bright, so I was ready to pull the trigger on a Royer 121 until I read some reviews of the new R92. Satisfied it was worth the...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice

		"In AEA you get a microphone and preamp combination that will actually give you back exactly what you feed into it. For a guitar player who has spent years crafting the exact tone that is coming out their amp cab, there is no better way to capture that tone than an R92 on the grille." Simon Picazo
		"This mic lets me record the guitar tone that the guitar player hears in the room. As a guitar player I know how invaluable that is! But wait until you try this on upright bass!" Maynard Madsen
		"The R92 is fast becoming a studio staple, allowing engineers the oppurtunity to fall in love with the sound of a ribbon microphone that is designed to meet the rigors of today's music production. " Joel Gragg
