"They rarely get unplugged, but instead move around the room as tracking happens..."

"...I suspect there isn’t a sound an AEA can’t conquer. I won’t do a session without them."

"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…"

"Whatever, these mics are terrific and I like them a lot."

"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 N8] has depth, detail, and bottom end for days. So much focus and tone from one phantom powered ribbon mic..."

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

"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."

"Their size, shape, and weight make them far easier to place than the bulkier ribbons I’m used to. The N8s are the closest thing to a perfect ribbon mic I’ve heard."

"As a trumpet player, there is no better choice than a ribbon microphone..."

"If you come to my studio, you’ll find the N8 situated right above my head as a mono overhead mic and the R84 next to my desk as an all purpose percussion mic..."

"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!"

“The R88 is a magic microphone and captures music in a unique way that I've come to rely on. I use it on drums, acoustic guitar, piano, and any instrument I want to sound like it's in the room with the listener.”

"Whether I'm at any one of the major Hollywood scoring stages or in a small or home studio, I record with AEA ribbon mics in almost every session."

"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!"

“What I like about the KU4s is that they are a rendition of the originals that leaves nothing to be desired.”
