AEA R84 Matched Pair

Versatile large ribbon microphone

The AEA R84 is a ribbon microphone also referred to as LRG (Large Ribbon Geometry). With its extremely thin, low-voltage capsule, the AEA R84 has an extremely fast transient response that makes it ideal for recording many instruments including: woodwinds, strings, percussion, electric guitars and basses.

It comes with suspension, XLR cable and bag.
