AEA R84A Active Microphone in stock at Tidepool

The active R84A mic retains the same sonic character of the classic R84 ribbon microphone, but with an additional 12dB of output and a stable impedance.  This gives a consistent frequency response and greater flexibility with different preamps, including those found in audio interfaces for personal computers. This is great for on-the-road musicians who might have to use a different preamp each night. The R84A microphone was previously called the A840.

The extra 12db of output is a huge help when recording quiet sources like vocals and soft acoustic guitars. The active circuitry also prevents noise, interference on long cable runs or when operating near large lighting rigs. The R84A requires standard 48-volt phantom power to operate the active circuitry. The R84A also possesses an 18-carrot, gold-plated grill & looks like a million bucks!

The AEA R84A was previously named the AEA A840.
