Introducing the AEA N22 NUVO series phantom-powered ribbon microphone
AEA's owner Wes Dooley explains how the N22 phantom-powered ribbon mic was conceived and how it was inspired by the design philosophies of RCA. The video gives an overview of the key features of the N22 and provides details about the design, development, and testing process at the AEA shop in Pasadena, CA. Hear from musicians like the Australian singer-songwriter Jordie Lane or experienced engineers like Ronan Chris Murphy why they like to use the N22 for their recording. The AEA N22 was designed with the singer-songwriter musician in mind. Hard working artists, honing their musical craft for many 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. Most importantly, the N22 was designed by listening first, and measuring only after experienced musicians told us the microphone sounded great.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 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.
