AEA N22 Stereo Kit

The AEA N22 was designed with the singer-songwriter musician in mind. Hard working artists that have honed their musical craft for years feel strongly about their personal tone, so they need a microphone that translates their signature sound in a recording. The N22 delivers on exactly those key points - providing a great ribbon tone without the need for EQ in most applications. Just like the RCA 44, the N22 was designed by listening first and measured only after experienced musicians and engineers confirmed that the microphone sounded great. Consequently, it is a professional tool that holds up to the highest standards of recording. Bridging the gap between vintage and modern, ribbon and condenser, studio and live, the N22 is the perfect companion for musicians and engineers alike.

AEA's NUVO Series Stereo Kit enables serious musicians and engineers to rapidly set up and accurately record in stereo on a single stand. The NUVO Stereo Kit consists of two N8s, and comes with all of the allgokkasten accessories necessary to easily configure the figure-eight microphones in Blumlein and near-coincident. The NUVO Stereo Kit includes a Heavy-Duty SKB travel case, the new AEA SMS stereo bar, two custom Windtech windscreens, a NUVO Blumlein coupler and mounting hardware.
