AEA R84

The AEA R84 is a passive studio ribbon microphone that shares many of the unique sonic characteristics of its historic predecessor, the R44. Designed to be flexible and practical in various recording setups, the R84 excels in a wide range of applications.

The R84 delivers rich low-mid frequencies, smooth high-end response, and excellent performance with the bidirectionality of its polar pattern. These qualities, along with its reduced proximity effect, make the R84 exceptionally suited for both close-up and ambient miking in medium-sized rooms. Its versatility matches that of the R44, making it an outstanding choice for recording vocals, strings, brass, and drums.

Since its release in 2001, the R84 has not only been nominated for numerous awards but has also helped engineers and producers worldwide create influential albums. The R84's multifaceted capabilities have made it a studio standard, with its presence in award-winning projects such as Turtle Island String Quartet, A Love Supreme, Los Tigres Del Norte, Juanes, The Zac Brown Band, and Uncaged.
