Excellent condition AEA RPQ Dual-Channel Ribbon Microphone Preamp & EQ.

Studio-used only in a professional recording environment, carefully maintained, and fully functional.

Designed specifically for passive ribbon microphones, the RPQ provides exceptionally high gain with extremely low noise while preserving the natural warmth and transient response ribbon microphones are known for.

Features include:

  • Dual-channel high-gain ribbon microphone preamplification
  • Variable LF filter and proximity control
  • AEA CurveShaper high-frequency EQ
  • Switchable phantom power and polarity per channel
  • Balanced and unbalanced outputs
  • Handcrafted in Pasadena, California

While optimized for ribbon microphones, the RPQ performs exceptionally well with dynamic and condenser microphones as well.

The unit is fully functional and was used exclusively in a professional, smoke-free studio environment.

A sought-after early AEA design and an increasingly uncommon piece of ribbon microphone history.
