Engineered to reduce the proximity effect and offer excellent wind blast protection, the AEA R92 is great for close miking of guitar and bass amps, drums, and vocals. The integrated shockmount and swivel allow for easy setup and positioning in tight spaces. With the R92 ribbon microphone you can now get the mic right up on your sound source and get a great open and clear sound without the low end rumble.

AEA has designed the R92 to have slightly different tones on the front and rear of the microphone. The front lobe of the R 92 gives you clean, clear, and realistic high-end detail. Perfect for when you need the top-end to give your source its character. The rear lobe offers more of the classic ribbon high-end roll-off, to help handle harsh transients in a very refined and flattering way. And thanks to the larger ribbon elements, the bass reproduction of the R92 is very solid and extends to the lowest audible bass frequencies.

Close miking can sometimes provide a boomy low-end that can get too much and overpowering in some recording situations. The guitarists at AEA asked for a ribbon microphone that captured an authentic and balanced electric guitar tone when put right onto the grill of an amp. Thanks to its purely passive signal path the R 92 microphone not only handles the SPL levels of a loud electric guitar amplifier with ease, but it also translates all the gritty details of your tone distortion characteristics that you've created.
