Offering a classic ribbon character in the form of a near-field, the dual-tone R92 functions as a versatile creative tool with innumerable possibilities. Similar in sound to the AEA R84, but with a more pronounced midrange and minimized proximity effect, the R92 performs brilliantly when up close to brass, guitar amps, kick drum, and percussion.

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. In addition, the integrated shockmount and swivel allow for easy setup and positioning in tight spaces.

The AEA R92 features the ultra-smooth sound of classic ribbon microphones, but with an asymmetrical polar pattern for different frequency responses on the front and rear of the mic. Designed for use up close on amps and instruments, the R92 has a more vintage response on the front of the mic and a brighter, more aggressive tone on the back of ...

The new R92 employs AEA's Large Ribbon Geometry design, like the R84, but this new model has been optimised specifically for close-miking applications. Most vintage ribbon microphones are spectrally balanced for medium and distant placements, principally because their inherently large proximity effect precludes close miking.

On instruments like horns, electric guitar amps and drums, the alternative ‘view’ the R92 provides is a real eye-opener. If your mic kit is bereft of ribbons and you’re serious about recording, do yourself a favour and check out the R92. It’s everything your $600 condenser ain’t!

The R92 has a tonality similar to that of the R84, as they both exhibit a classic Big Ribbon sound, but the R92 has uniquely pronounced mid-range response as well as minimized proximity effect. A feature of the R92 that distinguishes it from any other AEA mic is a ‘dual-tone’ functionality that results in two distinct sounds from the front ...

The R92 is a “large geometry” passive ribbon microphone, with a thin (1.8 micron) aluminum ribbon nearly 60mm in length. It was designed to avoid the proximity effect of many passive ribbon designs, and therefore can be used relatively close to a sound source without excessive low-frequency buildup.
