WELCOME
Congratulations on your purchase of the AEA N22 phantom-powered
ribbon microphone and welcome to the AEA family. 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. Whether you are a musician, home
studio owner, or experienced producer/engineer, you will find that the
N22 provides 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.
Your N22 microphone is 100% handcrafted in Pasadena, CA. AEA is a
family owned company with a small crew of skilled technicians – most
of them being musicians themselves. Proudly independent, we still
manufacture all our ribbon microphones and preamps by hand from
locally sourced parts.
We hope that the N22 will help you capture many magical performances
that touch the heart. Read this manual thoroughly to make sure that you
get the best sound and longevity from your new microphone. Please
don't be a stranger and become part of the AEA community by sharing
your experiences with the N22 via e-mail, phone or our social media
channels.
