A look inside Marc Scibilia's Nashville studio.

Marc gave us a tour of his space and walked us through some of the gear behind his sound, including a few familiar AEA ribbons along the way.

Tomorrow night, he takes the stage at the Ryman Auditorium for a hometown headline show.
If you’re in Nashville, go catch him live!

Did you know the R88 is one of the mics we spot most often in recording sessions around the world? 🎙️

With two ribbon elements in a Blumlein stereo configuration, the R88 is a versatile choice for capturing everything from drum overheads and acoustic instruments to the natural sound of a room.

Our friends at Dirty Sound Records in Poland shared this shot of theirs, calling it an “absolute game changer in every session.” We love hearing that!

Tag us in your setups for a chance to be featured. We'd love to see how you're putting AEA to work!

For more than a decade, GRAMMY-nominated producer, songwriter, and engineer Suzy Shinn has kept AEA ribbon mics close in her recording process.

At Treehouse, her home studio, that means reaching for ribbons across drums, vocals, piano, strings, and acoustic guitar, with a focus on capturing the performance naturally from the start.

The 2027 NAMM Show will be here before we know it!

We're looking back at one of our favorite moments from this year’s show, when AEA took home our first two TEC Awards for the N28 and TDI Duo.

A big shoutout to our friend John Jennings of Royer Labs for accepting both awards on our behalf. It's moments like these that remind us how special the ribbon microphone community is. ♥️

Here's to seeing everyone again in January!
