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
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.
