Classic concept thought modern
The AEA N22 is an active ribbon microphone for professional use in the recording studio. It is specially designed to meet the needs of modern productions, but combines them with the advantages of classic ribbon technology. Just like them, the N22 delivers a refined, characterful sound with musical softness and gently sloping, pleasant highs. A subtle presence boost at 3 kHz provides more clarity and assertiveness, so that the N22 is suitable for the most important signals of a mix such as bass drum, acoustic instruments and voice and is also suitable in combination with other microphones eg. on the guitar amp. To compensate for the extremely pronounced proximity effect of pure pressure gradient receivers, special delay elements are built into the housing that act like an EQ. In this way, the bass range is controlled and thinned out so that the mids are not masked even when miking eg. distorted guitar amps and the sound remains balanced.
