The R84 and the R84A are pill-shaped, side-address, ribbon microphones with a bidirectional pickup pattern. They are assembled with the same Big Ribbon™ tuning (16.5 Hz) as the AEA/ RCA R44 and share many of the unique sound characteristics with their historic predecessor. -

The phantom current draw for active AEA ribbon mics is 7 milliamps. IEC specifies P48 power which should be able to deliver 10 milliamps per input. Some USB and battery-powered audio interfaces will not deliver this. - Page 6 MICROPHONE STORAGE Keep the microphone covered when it is not in use. This will reduce the damage that may result from a gust of air. Place the supplied protective bag over the microphone when it is not in use. For long- term storage, keep the microphone in its protective case.
