Big thanks to AMS for spotlighting a whole lineup of AEA ribbons in this performance covering “Circle the Drain” by Soccer Mommy, from vocals and instruments to the space around the band.

Now the real question: which AEA mic are you reaching for first?

One beautiful Big Ribbon paired with a Marshall stack. Can’t go wrong with a guitar recording setup like this. 🎙️

The R84 brings a smooth, full-bodied character to electric guitar, making it a natural fit for capturing amp tone with depth, detail, and a little less edge up top.

Thanks to Rowan Music Industry Program for sharing with us. We love seeing our ribbons used to help educate the audio engineers of the future!

Inside the studio with GRAMMY-winning producer Matthew Koma.

On Hilary Duff’s “luck… or something,” Matthew leaned on the AEA R88 throughout the recording process to capture space, depth, and natural stereo imaging across drums, acoustics, piano, organ, background vocals, and more.
Paired with the RPQ3 preamp and EQ, the R88 became a consistent front-end throughout the sessions.

We spy with our ribbon eye… a whole lot of ribbons. 🎙️

Kenny Wayne Shepherd recently shared a look at some new gear added to his recording studio, and we couldn’t help but notice all the AEA love pulsing through the setup.

Big thanks to Kenny for sharing this with us and for trusting our gear as part of his creative process. We’re always grateful to see AEA mics become part of your sound.

If you’re reading this, let’s be honest. You probably have a vintage ribbon microphone sitting in the back of a mic locker.

The one that used to be in regular rotation, but now needs a little work. The one that’s slowly become more of a studio artifact than a working microphone. Does any of this sound familiar?

Good news: AEA services RCA and Coles microphones, along with vintage microphone accessories.

So if that mic has been waiting for its comeback, this might be your sign. 😏🎙️

Spotted in Wolf Alice’s live setup: the AEA KU5A on vocals and the N22 on guitar.

The KU5A keeps the vocal focused and controlled with natural ribbon character, while the N22 captures the guitar with the punch and detail it was built for.

Plus, that handheld KU5A moment is hard to miss, giving the vocal a little more room to move with the emotion.

We love seeing the R84 find its way into so many sessions.

Big thanks to WaveRec Studio for sharing the Big Ribbon love and putting the R84 to work on everything from percussion and drums to winds and strings. With its smooth, natural ribbon character and balanced detail, the R84 is a trusted choice across a wide range of sources.

Seeing our mics become part of your daily workflow makes what we do extra special.

Wildermiss brought the live festival energy to the room during AMERICANAFEST sessions at WELCOME TO 1979.

Recorded and mixed by 5x GRAMMY-winner Brandon Bell, this set was tracked with a practical AEA chain: KU5A on vocals, N13 on the guitar amp, and TDI + TDI Duo on synths to keep the DI sources consistent and clean in the mix.
