AEA Nuvo Series N8 Ribbon Microphone

Nuvo Series N8 Ribbon Microphone Item Description

As the second model in AEA’s Nuvo Series, the N8 combines the modern advantages of phantom powered electronics, with a classic ribbon sound. In fact the aluminum ribbon in the N8 is identical to the flagship R44 model in its dimensions and tuning, delivering a wide open sound and strong low-end. This makes it ideal for distant mic’ing; sounds don’t get thin, no matter where you are in the room. The N8 can also work well in close mic situations, where the proximity effect can be used to one’s advantage for a heavy bottom. The modern design allows for high SPL’s, so don’t be afraid to put this in front of a loud guitar amp.

The phantom-powered output makes this mic extremely adaptable with any preamp/interface. It also has proven to be a convenient ribbon mic for orchestral and TV work, where the sleek, unobtrusive look keeps the N8 virtually out of sight. Try on any instrument where a wide open/natural sound is preferred.
