{"product_id":"aea-n8-nuvo-191437","title":"N8 Nuvo","description":"\u003ch3\u003eIn the AEA tradition: the \"room\" approach inspired by the R88, in a mono format\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AEA N8 carries the sonic DNA that made the R88 successful by offering a \u003cstrong\u003emono\u003c\/strong\u003e version designed for capturing space and width. This is a particularly relevant choice if you want to build a matched stereo pair or complement your microphone collection with a ribbon capable of capturing a room \"as the ear hears it,\" with a sense of depth and a natural signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor which uses and profiles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe N8 is aimed at sound engineers, demanding home studio users, and recording studios looking for a high-end ribbon mic for \u003cstrong\u003eoverheads\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eroom mic\u003c\/strong\u003e, acoustic ensembles, upright or grand piano, and bowed string recordings. Its figure-8 pattern also allows for creative placement techniques (side rejection, front\/back capture) to control ambiance and perspective in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and key points for modern ribbon recording\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eActive ribbon: a ribbon easier to use daily\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in preamplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e, the N8 offers smooth operation with many interfaces and preamps while retaining the character and finesse expected of a ribbon. \u003cstrong\u003e48V phantom power\u003c\/strong\u003e is required to operate the active electronics, a real advantage for obtaining a strong signal without excessively pushing the gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFigure-8 pattern: width, depth, and environment control\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figure-8 polar pattern is at the heart of the N8's identity: it captures both front and back while effectively rejecting the sides. The result is a rich spatial image, particularly effective over a drum kit, in the room background, or above a string section stand to capture the whole with coherence and naturalness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response -
