HOW IS THE N22 DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RIBBON MICROPHONES?

}

The AEA N22 was designed with the singer-songwriter musician in mind. Hard working 
artists, honing their musical craft for many years, feel strongly about their personal tone, 
so they need a microphone that translates their signature sound in a recording. The new 
N22 delivers on exactly those key points - providing a great ribbon tone without the need 
for EQ in most applications. Most importantly, the N22 was designed by listening first, 
and measuring only after experienced musicians told us the microphone sounded great. 
Bridging the gap between vintage and modern, ribbon and condenser, studio and live, 
the N22 is the perfect companion for musicians and engineers alike.

WHAT IS UNDER THE HOOD?

Featuring the same 

Big Ribbon

TM

 technology that has earned AEA its reputation, the N22 

offers an incredible sound in close-mic applications like acoustic and electric guitars, 
vocals, and drums. With phantom-powered JFET electronics and a custom German 
transformer the N22 achieves optimal performance with a wide range of preamps 
including USB or Firewire audio interfaces in home studio setups. The highly protected 
pure aluminum ribbon allows for using the N22 in live sound applications and vocal 
recording without the need for an additional pop-filter. At $899 street price it delivers a 
handcrafted US-made microphone built to last a lifetime.

The N22 is the first member of AEA’s

other AEA ribbons, all 

NUVO

 microphones are designed to offer a fresh approach to 

the ribbon transducer and represent Wes Dooley’s take on the evolution of the ribbon 
microphone.
