AEA to Show Newly Announced Mic Preamps at AES L.A. Convention
AEA Ribbon Mics and Preamps is showing the new RPQ2 preamp and its matching sibling, the RPQ500, at this year's AES Convention in Los Angeles. AEA, known for their Big Ribbon microphones such as the R84 and their re-creation of the RCA R44, has created two new preamps specially designed to meet the particular challenges of ribbon mics.
The AEA booth (#620) will be showing and demoing their entire line of ribbon microphones and preamps, along with presenting the AEA Sessions video series and John Cuniberti’s OneMic Recordings featuring the stereo R88 ribbon microphone.
The new high gain, high impedance RPQ2 and RPQ500 preamps were designed with intention to allow your microphones to do what they do best – record the sound of your instrument “in its full glory.”
The new AEA RPQ2 preamp features:
- Two channels with 81dB of “sweet and quiet” JFET gain
- “NoLoad” 63 k-ohm high-impedance circuitry providing better overall transients, frequency response, and higher output sensitivity
- High-band frequency “CurveShaper” EQ and low-frequency proximity control
