TAGGED: R88

“[N8s] give me the sound exactly the way I want to capture it, which, to me, is the very definition of a ‘dream’ microphone.”

“The R88 is beyond belief! It makes every room in my house like a perfect room…A really joyous mic!”

“The AEA R88 made it possible for me to record an entire band around one microphone.”

“My absolute favorite combo on my upright pianos, mallet instruments, and reed organs are an R88 with the RPQ.”

“I used the AEA R84 on recent sessions for vocal [and guitars]. It just kept on sounding better and better. It’s very bright and open with an extended low end…”

“We used the KU5A on cello spot on Deadpool 2’ orchestra sessions and loved it. Having a supercardioid ribbon like this opens a lot of new possibilities. You can now dig in but still get the characteristic ribbon sound.”

“When I heard the drums and found out that it was just the single mic over my head, the R88, I was blown away.”

“The R88 is the most realistic mic I’ve ever used. I still get confused if during playback the piano is coming out of the speakers or if the pianist is still playing in the room.”

“The RPQ2 takes my AEA microphones to the next level. There’s gain for days and it’s insanely quiet.”
