From Our Research Team:

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

Oddly, Great Kick Mic

by Dylan S. from Canandaigua, NY

Music Background: Recording Major, Musician, Student
I decided to use this mic in a session for kick and it was astonishing! No eq, this mic on kick is very accurate. Love this mic.

I had never really done much recording using ribbon microphones, other than using a Royer 121 on a guitar cabinet. I always wanted to hear what the classic ribbons, like the RCAs or Coles microphones ... read more

Sweetwater Advice

Simon Picazo
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.
Charlie Davis
“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!”
Jared Kalish
I've heard some great things about what ribbons can do for your sound, but I really had no idea until I got this R92 home and put it on my Taylor 714-CE acoustic guitar. The way that this ribbon responded to the bright sound of my Taylor really translated for me into a "real" and rounded tone in my recordings. I know what my go-to is for acoustic guitar from now on!
