Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
AEA’s black R92 is a figure-eight ribbon microphone tailored to close placement, including guitar amps, vocals, horns, percussion, and strings from 3 to 12 inches away. Wind-blast protection and reduced bass proximity effect support working at those distances. Its two sides offer distinct choices at the mic: use the front for clean, detailed high frequencies, or turn to the rear when a smoother top end can help tame harsh transients. The integral elastic mount allows flexible positioning.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Close-miking guitar amplifiers, vocals, horns, percussion, or strings from 3 to 12 inches.
- Recording harsh transients with the smoother rear side’s rolled-off high end.
- Positioning a close microphone with the integral elastic shock mount.
