AEA RPQ3 2-channel Ribbon Microphone Preamp and EQ Reviews
Sweetwater studio engineers love the dark and warm quality that ribbon mics can lend to a signal. That said, some have shared war stories of their difficulties in placing ribbon mics on quieter sources. Thankfully, with the AEA RPQ3 2-channel Ribbon Microphone Preamp and EQ, those troubles are an issue of the past. With ultra-low self-noise and distortion plus 85dB of clean JFET output gain, the PRQ3 enables you to capture any source with your beloved ribbon mics. Its 68k ohm high-impedance circuity also provides clearer transients, broader frequency response, and greater output sensitivity. The AEA PRQ3 also features high/low frequency boosts and cuts for shaping your top end as well as minimizing proximity effect, and offers convenient routing options via its Post-Mic and Pre-EQ inserts. A polarity switch and optional +48V phantom power are also onboard. Finally, the AEA PRQ3 features an open-back access to the AC power switch, making it usable anywhere in the world via switchable 115V or 230V.
