#R88

“The R84 has made a ribbon believer out of me. Never before have I heard a ribbon mic sound so good on so many things: strings, brass, acoustic guitar, choir, even solo voice.”

“The R88’s got such a great stereo image without a hole in the middle, it just seems like its full all the way across and vibrant and lively sounding.”

“I’ve been using the R88 lately as a room mic out in front of the drums. I really like that a lot, it sounds really cool…”

“I love the R88 on drums. Whether as an overhead or room, it pretty much was the only mic we needed. The long ribbon design makes the mic sound huge.”

“The RPQ500 has left me reaching for a ribbon over a dynamic mic every time I record guitars.”

“The R88 has become an indispensable tool in my mic collection… it is always somewhere in my orchestral brass setups.”

“[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…”
