Inspired by the great tradition of studio ribbon microphones, the R84 continues a warm and three-dimensional sonic aesthetic while meeting current demands. Nominated in 2003 for the Technical Excellence Award in the "Outstanding Technical Achievement, Microphone/Studio Technology" category, it has established itself as a versatile reference, more accessible and manageable than heavy historic models while retaining the prized organic texture in musical recording.
The AEA R84 is aimed at professional studios as well as discerning home studio creators seeking a main microphone capable of flattering vocals, strings, woodwinds, brass, or winds, and also taming the harshness of a guitar amp. Its figure-8 directivity facilitates creative recordings (face-to-face duos, Blumlein, or MS with a pair), and its high sound level tolerance opens the door to close miking while preserving a signature smoothness in the highs.
Controlled Figure-8 Directivity: the figure-eight pattern offers a homogeneous front/back lobe, strong lateral rejection, and a very coherent stereo image. Ideal for isolating a source in a room or capturing both source and ambience naturally.
Modern Voicing Inspired by Vintage Ribbons: the transducer tuning limits the bass boominess related to proximity and adds subtle brightness in the upper spectrum. The result: a full, present timbre that integrates easily into a mix without harshness.
Durability and Workflow: ultra-light pleated aluminum ribbon, impedance matched to most modern mic preamps, and integrated XLR3-M cable for exemplary reliability in studio and on set. Delivered ready to use with mount, pouch, and case, it installs and transports safely.
