percussion, and more. In addition, the smooth high frequency response of the R88 transducer has been
further extended in the R92, making the R92 a unique voice in the world of ribbon mics.
AEA has designed the R92 to have different tones on the front and rear pickup lobes of the microphone.
The front lobe of the R92 is the "crisp" side, offering exceptionally clean and realistic high end detail. The
rear lobe is the "smooth" side, which has a bit of classic ribbon high end rolloff that can help to handle
harsh transients in a very refined and flattering way. Just like its bigger brothers in AEA's Big Ribbon
microphone series, the bass reproduction of the R92 is very solid and extended to the lowest audible bass
frequencies.
The R92 is designed with an integral elastic shock mount, featuring a unique mounting system that allows
excellent flexibility of mic positioning. The mic ships with a two meter cable and a durable plastic carrying
case.

Fourth in the family of AEA's line of
microphones, the AEA R92 was optimized spe-
cifically for close work. With excellent wind-blast
protection, the R92 is ideal for guitar, vocals,
horns, percussion and strings at distances up to 3
inches.
Over the past few years, AEA's acclaimed R84
ribbon microphone has become a new studio
standard. Now AEA has again expanded the sonic
possibilities of ribbon mics with the R92 Ribbon
Microphone.
Further reductions in the bass proximity effect and
excellent wind blast protection make it suitable for
close micing (3-12 inches) of guitar amps, vocals,
