The AEA R92 is a pill-shaped, side-address, passive ribbon microphone with a bidirectional (or figure-of-8) pickup pattern. It is assembled with the same Big Ribbon(TM), tuning (16.5 Hz) and transformer as the R44.
Accommodating close and medium miking duties, the R92 exhibits a flat frequency response when placed 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) away from the source, capturing the classic body and dimension of the Big Ribbon(TM) sound with reduced bass proximity effect. As a result, the mic is well suited for electric guitar, percussion, brass, vocals and drums. Its compact, lightweight design and integrated 360-degree swivel mount allows for placement versatility, while the custom shock mount suspension mitigates undesired low frequency mechanical vibrations. What makes the R92 truly unique is the contrasting tonal response on the front and back lobes: the front side is defined by a "crisper" characteristic, while the back side has a smooth, "traditional" top end roll-off.
Phantom power is not required or recommended for the passive R92. AEA recommends avoiding the use of phantom power with your R92 as a general rule. With a correctly wired cable and a properly working phantom power supply, there is actually little danger of damaging an R92 microphone with phantom power. However, passive ribbons such as the R92 will get hurt if ground Pin 1 is accidentally shorted, mis-wired, or hot patched in a patch bay to Pin 2 or 3. Using phantom power with a faulty or mis-wired cable or a defective supply can severely stretch or break a ribbon. Since passive ribbon microphones or other transformer-coupled microphones are particularly sensitive to phantom-power, it is recommended to make disengaging phantom-power before plugging and unplugging a habit.
