Page 2: Welcome
AEA family. AEA’s team of engineers set out once again to expand the sonic possibilities of ribbon microphones with the R92 model. We consider the R92 a near-field ribbon, delivering a bass-to-treble balance from up- close. -

Page 4: Introduction
What makes the R92 truly unique is the contrasting tonal response on the front and back lobes: the front side is defined by a “crisper” characteristic, while the back side has a smooth, “traditional” top end roll-off. -

R92 microphone with phantom power. However, passive ribbons such as the R92 will get hurt if ground Pin 1 is accidentally shorted, mis-wired, or hot patched in a patch bay to Pin 2 or 3. - Page 6 Minute iron particles, sometimes known as “tramp iron,” are common within our environment. AEA ribbon microphones contain powerful magnets that produce strong magnetic fields. These fields can attract any ferric metal near the microphone that, if they are small enough, can penetrate the outer screening and work their way inside the microphone.
- Page 7 Always use a sturdy microphone stand. While the R92 was designed to work well with all standard microphone stands, a high- quality boom stand will make your life a little bit easier. The R92 was designed with placement versatility and vibration isolation in mind.

Pin-2, with respect to Pin-3 on the output connector. Since the R92 is bidirectional, it exhibits nulls at right angles to the principal axis. These nulls produce a “plane of rejection” around the sides, top and bottom of the mic. - Page 9 You will generally find that well-designed ribbon microphones like the R92 capture a natural off-axis sound, which means that bleed from other instruments can contribute to the overall sound in a pleasing way.
- Page 10 However, as a figure-of-8 microphone, it intrinsically exhibits proximity effect. Compared to the R44, which achieves proximity effect from six feet away, the proximity effect from the R92 is substantially less and exhibits a flat frequency response when placed at a distance of 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from the source.
