From Sweetwater: AEA R84 Ribbon Studio Microphone $1,299.00 The AEA R84 Ribbon Microphone is an outstanding general-purpose microphone, ideally suited for solo and accent work, and it's hard to find an application where the R84 doesn't shine. AEA built the R84 around the same Big Ribbon element and transformer as its R44, the company's take on the legendary RCA 44, then re-engineered the mic to be lighter, more compact, and easier to place. That redesign tames the proximity effect, so you can work the R84 up close on a vocal or guitar cab and keep the low end full but controlled, or pull it back to capture the natural bloom of a room. Its figure-8 pattern hears the front and back equally while rejecting the sides, giving you precise control over bleed. The R84 is also fully passive, so there's no phantom power to manage — pair it with a high-gain preamp and start tracking. Whether it's your first ribbon or your fifth, the R84 gives you everything professionals expect from a quality ribbon mic.
