AEA Ribbon Microphones: Factory Tour

We recently visited the Pasadena, CA headquarters of AEA, makers of classic ribbon microphones and ribbon microphone preamps. AEA is known for a number of different ribbon microphones including the R44C, R44CE, A440 and R84A. AEA's General Manager Sammy Rothman took us on a tour of their factory to get up close and personal with their microphone manufacturing process. Sammy provided a general overview of the historic RCA ribbon microphones that initially inspired AEA's product line, and the exacting attention to detail that informs the part sourcing and manufacturing of AEA's ribbon mics.

I brought this bad boy along for a live video shoot with the fantastic musician traceyyarad yesterday in #brooklyn and I love it. Its the #KU5A from #AEA and it’s a supercardioid ribbon mic that takes regular 48V phantom power. It’s very natural for a ribbon and it really smooths out those extra-high tones and noises that a violin is so good at producing. I’ve gravitated towards ribbons over the past few years after realizing that many of my favorite violin (and vocal) sounds of yesteryear were captured by them. I still love a great small-diaphragm condenser on the violin too but... I think I like this even more. . . . #jazzviolinholyshat #micporn #liverecording #soapboxgallery
