&AEA N8 Stereo Kit

NUVO N8 The active NUVO N8 is a modern ribbon mic that records the live, natural sound of instruments within a space as it would sound in-person, with all subtlety and nuance present. It effortlessly captures complex sources like drums, strings, piano, and other instruments that can produce intricate transients, harsh highs, and bellowing lows. N8 MICROPHONE OVERVIEW Open and natural sound Far-fieldribbon mic that retains low end and top end from a distance Same design philosophy as theAEA R88stereo ribbon mic Compact, lightweight, and low-profile design Featuresactive electronicsand custom transformer optimized for all preamps Made in the U.S.A. HEARS LIKE YOUR EARS The N8 captures a space as it sounds live and in person, with all the present subtlety and nuance. Its expansive frequency response and balanced low end make it superbly effective when capturing the full breadth of sound from the back of a room, above a drum set, or overhead a string section. It boasts the widest frequency range of any mic in the AEA lineup and effortlessly manages more complex source audio like drums, strings, piano, and other instruments that produce intricate transients, harsh highs, and bellowing lows. The full potential of the N8 is perhaps best realized when configured in a stereo array, as it draws on the same successful sonic concepts as theAEA R88. THE FAR-FIELD RIBBON The N8 is afar-field ribbon mic, meaning it is designed to be positioned at an ideal distance of 12 inches or farther from the source of sound. This far-field design allows for a wide range of options when positioning the N8 to best capture an instrument within the context of a room. From as far away as 20 feet away, the N8 retains the low end frequencies of the sources it captures, and its open, natural tonality makes it perfect to record anentire orchestrasor the full low end of adrum kitfrom overhead. The proximity effect of the N8 is present when recording a source from closer than 12 inches, so this feature can be used to accentuate the low-end of a vocal or string instrument. Potential damage from loud sources is of no concern, even at such a short distance, as the N8 can handle 141 dB SPL at 1 kHz. If less proximity effect is desired when recording at close range, the near-fieldAEA N22is an effective ribbon mic to complement the N8s far-field performance. A MONO VERSION OF THE AEA R88 The N8 is the mono version of theAEA R88stereo microphone with active electronics. Engineers in both the studio and on the scoring stage who use the R88 desired a mono version that was more discreet, lightweight and easier to position. The N8 and R88 share the same minimalist design philosophy and honest sound. A pair of N8s with theNUVO stereo kitcan emulate the R88, but a special preamp is not needed since the N8 uses active circuitry.
