AEA N28 ribbon microphone

General

The AEA N28 brings the magic of high-quality stereo recording within easy reach. This active stereo ribbon microphone combines two perfectly matched ribbon elements in a fixed Blumlein configuration, allowing you to effortlessly capture an impressively realistic and natural stereo image with just a single microphone. From drum overheads and room microphones to acoustic instruments, ensembles and live recordings: the N28 delivers an exceptionally spacious sound with unprecedented depth, precision and phase coherence. Whereas traditional stereo set-ups often require multiple microphones, stands and complex positioning, the N28 offers an elegant all-in-one solution.

Beautiful stereo image with the AEA N28

Thanks to its compact design, the N28 is easy to position, even in situations where space is limited. The carefully tuned frequency response, with a slight emphasis in the midrange, delivers a clear, defined sound that works particularly well with ‘dark’ sources such as guitar cabinets, strings, piano and room recordings. The fixed Blumlein configuration creates a wide, natural stereo image with excellent mono compatibility. This allows you to capture not only the instrument, but also the acoustics and ambience of the room in which it is being played. The result is a recording that sounds as if the listener is actually present.
