Descrição

The AEA R88 has been optimized for recording stereo instruments and ensembles. The R88's two ribbon motors are oriented at 90 degrees, and provide excellent off-axis response. The R88 uses the large ribbon configuration of the RCA 44 pickup line, giving the mic a solid bass response down to 20Hz and extreme smoothness in the high frequencies, very flattering for complex tones like cymbals, strings and woodwinds.

The R88 is very useful in chamber music, drum overheads, stereo piano covers, brass sections and coincidence stereo applications. The very high quality of the R88's passive electronics guarantees a high dynamic range with minimal distortion, but the R88 excels with a preamplifier offering a clean gain of 60 dB, low noise (-127dB EIN or better) and an input impedance of at least 1.5 kOhms.

The R88 offers minimal wind noise protection to ensure it sounds as natural as possible — so be sure to use a pop filter when taking close-up vocals. The R88 can be used with Blumlein and M-S stereo jack techniques. The finish is matte black to improve its discretion, in Live shots. It is equipped with an integrated suspension to reduce noise transmitted by the microphone stand.
