The exciting R84A is a powered version of AEA's acclaimed R84 microphone. Now, you can get that luscious ribbon sound, only with the benefit of a hotter signal that gives you a lot more versatility — in terms of how you use it, and what preamplifier you use it with. With an outstanding clear, natural sound, the R84A is going to become your first-call pick on a number of sources — from vocals to brass instruments to strings, piano, percussion, and beyond. When you're wanting that big, velvety ribbon sound, you won't believe your ears when you hear the AEA R84A.
