From recreating the classics to designing more modern takes, AEA does ribbon mics right. The brand’s NUVO Series (N8, N13, and N22) falls into the latter category, offering classic ribbon character with active electronics, higher output, and compact designs built for both studio and road use.

The NUVO N13 is the series mid-field microphone option, offering excellent pickup from a distance for an open, natural sound. Think of it as your go-to for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, horns, and strings. It brings an airy top-end clarity and fast transient response, making it especially well-suited for capturing nuance without sacrificing character.
