The AEA N22 from the Nuvo series of microphones is an active ribbon mic that gives you the high-frequency clarity of a condenser mic. Standard 48V phantom power provides the necessary juice for the internal amplifier, pushing the average output level far above that of a passive ribbon. A highly protected ribbon, the same Big Ribbon at the heart of AEA's other mics, stops plosives and wind blasts from negatively impacting your tracks when used up close. For amazing detail on acoustic instruments and delicate vocal tracks, and a sound that pulls the listener in rather than forcing them to the front, grab an AEA N22 today.
