Overview
A NUVO Approach to the Ribbon MicThe AEA
N22 was designed with the singer-songwriter musician in mind. Hard working artists that have honed their musical craft for years feel strongly about their personal tone, so they need a
microphone that translates their signature
sound in a recording. The
N22 delivers on exactly those key points - providing a great ribbon tone without the need for
EQ in most applications. Just like the
RCA 44, the
N22 was designed by listening first and measured only after experienced musicians and engineers confirmed that the
microphone sounded great. Consequently, it is a professional tool that holds up to the highest standards of recording.
Bridging the gap between vintage and modern, ribbon and
condenser, studio and live, the
N22 is the perfect companion for musicians and engineers alike.
The Big Ribbon: reimaginedFeaturing the same Big Ribbon technology that has earned AEA its reputation, the
N22 offers an incredible
sound in close-
mic applications like acoustic and electric guitars, piano, vocals, and drums. With phantom-powered JFET electronics and a custom German transformer, the
N22 achieves optimal performance with a wide range of preamps including
USB or
Firewire audio interfaces in home or project studio setups. The highly protected pure
aluminum ribbon allows for using the
N22 in live
sound applications and vocal recording without the need for an additional pop-
filter. The simplicity and the ease of use of the entire package allow the focus to be on capturing a great performance even in tight and difficult recording environments.
About the NUVO SeriesThe
N22 is the first member of AEA's NUVO series of microphones. Rooted in the
RCA tradition just like other AEA ribbons, all NUVO microphones are designed to offer a fresh approach to the ribbon
transducer and represent Wes Dooley's take on the evolution of the ribbon
microphone.
