AEA KU4 Ribbon Microphone, from AEA

The KU4 Ribbon Microphone, from Wes Dooley and the Audio Engineering Associates at AES 2011, is an incredible supercardioid Ribbon Mic. It does not have the typical figure eight polar pattern like other ribbons. Listen to how smooth it sounds through AEA's RPQ 500 series preamp. The KU 4 has a suppressed rear lobe, which reduces unwanted room ambience, and it also has a reduced bass proximity effect.

The RPQ 500 from Wes Dooley and AEA is an incredible ribbon microphone or condenser mic preamplifier based off of the two Channel RPQ that Audio Engineering Associates released a few years ago. The RPQ 500 is a 500 series module with an EQ section that eliminates some common issues that arise in ribbon mics such as the low end rumble or the high frequency. Thanks to Wes Dooley and AEA for the great demo this year at AES 2011 in New York.
