About us
AEA began servicing RCA ribbon microphones in 1976. By 1998 we were manufacturing 100% of the parts for the RCA 44. That same year we decided to release our version of the 44 and thus was born AEA Ribbon Mics. Since the creation of the R44, AEA has expanded into designing and building new ribbon microphones, each with a unique application and function, using the same RCA traditions. Over the years, AEA has advanced ribbon technology, using new materials, updated manufacturing techniques. The company now makes a whole line of ribbon mics that can be configured to give a group of musicians a unique sonic signature.

When GRAMMY-nominated artist Seth Glier needed to capture Sophie B. Hawkins' dynamic range, he chose the AEA R44CE: “I was looking for a microphone that could capture the range of Sophie’s voice from brassy and belted to husky and hushed, the R44CE delivered in every possible way. The low end on this microphone is bonkers... we ended up using the R44 on drums, acoustic guitars, and bass.” 🎤 Curious to hear what this legendary mic can bring to your recordings?
