We love seeing the R84 find its way into so many sessions.
Big thanks to WaveRec Studio for sharing the Big Ribbon love and putting the R84 to work on everything from percussion and drums to winds and strings. With its smooth, natural ribbon character and balanced detail, the R84 is a trusted choice across a wide range of sources.
Seeing our mics become part of your daily workflow makes what we do extra special.

Captured on the A440 and N28, Patrick Dwyer's performance at Ocean Way Nashville Studios during AMERICANAFEST showcases the natural beauty of recording with ribbons. The stereo ribbon gives the guitar depth and space without hype, and the A440 keeps the vocal warm, full, and right where you want it.

One of the most important jobs on the Foo Fighters tour? Micing Dave Grohl's amp. FOH engineer Antony King trusts the AEA KU5A to put in the work.
On a loud stage, bleed and feedback are always part of the battle. The KU5A’s tight supercardioid pattern helps keep the amp focused and controlled without losing that natural ribbon tone.
Hear it live for yourself on FF’s current tour!
Anyone who’s set up a Blumlein pair before knows the struggle. 🎙️🎙️
The R44 Blumlein Jig keeps two R44s locked into place at the proper angle, making stereo setup faster, cleaner, and way less frustrating.
