The description below reflects the specifications of the new model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA classic ribbon microphone in the AEA range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AEA R84 has established itself as one of the brand’s most highly regarded models for those seeking the warmth, smoothness and natural character typical of ribbon microphones. Nominated in 2003 for an award recognizing technical excellence and creativity in the world of microphones and studios, it quickly earned its place among the serious references in its segment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts positioning is particularly appealing: it delivers the sonic character of a large ribbon microphone at a more accessible price than certain very high-end models, without compromising on true manufacturing quality. The R84 is therefore equally suited to professional studios, independent sound engineers and demanding musicians looking for a characterful microphone capable of adapting to a wide range of recording situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA microphone designed for expressive recording\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe R84 shines whenever a source needs to be captured with depth, body and a genuine sense of space. On vocals, it often brings a highly appealing sense of smoothness and depth. On acoustic guitar, piano, strings or brass, it highlights the body of the sound without making it harsh, with the natural character many engineers seek both in close miking and room recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts figure-8 polar pattern also makes it an excellent choice for stereo techniques, face-to-face duet recording, or sessions where you want to take advantage of the room. Side rejection helps control certain amounts of bleed, while front-and-rear pickup preserves a highly lively image. This is a microphone that rewards careful placement and translates playing nuances with considerable elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe sonic signature of the AEA large ribbon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOpen and natural reproduction\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe R84 is built around a large-ribbon design, with a 1.8-micron folded aluminum ribbon. This type of construction contributes to its smooth high-frequency response, rich midrange and ability to reproduce transients without harshness. The result is often more organic than that of certain condenser microphones that can sound overly incisive on the same sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA genuinely practical figure-8 response\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of its major strengths lies in the combination of its figure-8 polar pattern, reduced proximity effect and slight high-frequency boost. In practical terms, this lets you enjoy the presence and depth typical of a ribbon microphone without invariably producing an overpowering low end. This voicing makes it more versatile than one might expect from a microphone in this family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePlenty of headroom for loud sources\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a maximum SPL of 165 dB at 1% THD above 1 kHz, the R84 can be placed in front of highly energetic sources without losing its composure. It is an excellent candidate for a guitar cabinet, a brass section, a focused drum overhead or a room recording with a pronounced character. Its mechanical durability inspires confidence in the studio, even in more demanding recording situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSerious studio construction down to the smallest details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAEA designed this model for practical use in a production environment. The fixed 3 m cable with XLR3-M connector makes installation easy, while the included accessories ensure safe transport and storage. Handcrafted in the USA, it reinforces the impression of a durable tool designed to serve a studio over the long term rather than follow a disposable philosophy.\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\u003ePolar pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003efigure-8\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1% above 1 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRibbon dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e4.7 x 59.7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e270 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e20 - 20000 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e295 x 99 x 64 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum sound pressure level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e165 dB SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1.3 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AEA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359985946899,"sku":"387150","price":1289.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/2c364e2d8801de60fa7587bf4bfc145cf7a3fa04_1AEA_R84.jpg?v=1792602063","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/aea-r84-refurbished-387150","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
