"I've been using the RCA BK5 on guitars for years, but after hearing the AEA KU5A, it will be my new mic on guitar amps! So much clarity, depth, and punch! Amazing!"

“I dig the KU5A on snare. Beef and snap. Good rejection. Sounded real good and natural. It was all there.”

"I use the N8 and N22 on just about everything at this point. Their silky, smooth, yet detailed sound gets me a great recording that sits well in the mix every time, whether I’m recording strings, guitar, piano, winds, voice…"

"I love the AEA N22. We've used it on almost every electric guitar track I've recorded since getting that mic..."

"The N8's and the N22's have become pretty much the standard for both the band's touring set up and day to day recording in my studio."

"The R84 is aces across the board with sound quality. Musically capturing exactly what I'm looking for and built like a tank!"

"Ribbon mics are certainly part of my toolbox, and AEA makes some of the best."

"The AEA N22 we use on my amp live sounds killer!”

"I used to combine two or more mics per amp. With the N22, I don’t need to do that anymore.”

"I'm lovin the mics... the R44 is incredible on anything I put it on pretty much"

"I can't say enough great things about how much of a workhorse [the N22] has been in my studio."

"The N22 is one of the most musical microphones I’ve ever used."

"My N22 has turned out to be an incredible bass amp mic…to such an extent that I won’t record bass without it."

"There are very few pieces of equipment that can handle the amount of tasks I put the KU5A up against. It handled all of them effortlessly with the perfect amount of clarity and enjoyable qualities. It’s a winner, hands down."

"AEA mics are my first line of defense in the war against boring, sterile sounds. You will not find a finer example of the intersection of craftsmanship and sonic truth."

The [N22 and N8] seem to pick up pleasing character and intimacy to sources while leaving out the squirrely harshness of guitar amps and shrillness of cymbals.

"AEA Microphones, specifically the N8 Stereo Pair, coupled with the RPQ2, give me the exact warmth, transparency and detail that I had been searching for!"

"I tried the AEA N22 on a wide range of sources and it always sounded good, which means that artists recording with the N22 will never deliver a bad sounding recording to me!"
