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.
Vintage King and AEA are partnering this month to deliver ribbon mic excellence to one lucky winner. That's right, we’re giving away a NUVO N13! Fill out the form on this page, follow AEA (FB/IG) and Vintage King (FB/IG), and review the official rules to enter. Entries close at 11:59 PM on June 1, 2026. Good luck!
