The 44 just sounds great. The hp filter on the rpq is remarkable for taming the proximity effect of the r44. Cloud Microphones JRS-34 was designed by Stephen Sank, son of the RCA BK-11’s inventor, Jon R. Sank — for whom this microphone is named. The mic list (of included gear, noit rental items) is short on tube mics. I don't think it has a "funky" null point - I think the null is smaller (or perhaps another way to look at it is the R84 has a wider pickup-pattern than the 4038?). Funky null points? It is a hard decision. It uses a long-geometry ribbon like the ShinyBox 46U (presumably) and the AEA R44 and R84. 4 ribbons total. I'm curious to know what. glad you're enjoying it.

Northern Europe has been too hi-tech for ribbons. When you buy products through links across our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. the RPQ or the Grace? I would be curious to try the 122v versus the AEA R84 on violin. That hasn't been my experience at all. I have not yet heard the R84, but I have a 77DX that was reconditioned by Clarance Kane that is absolutely one of the best I have heard. I'm planning on getting a ribbon mic soon and i have read exceptional comments for both of these mics here in Gearslutz. It is wonderful. It's a well documented problem over on tapperssection. If you're talking ribbons, I love the 122v on solo violin. I haven't used the AEA preamps, it may be they bridge the gap (and more) between new and old design approaches. You may still have to replace the ribbon. Oops. I've never worked with the AEA r84. Gearslutz is part-supported by our visitors. So Ward, what would be the best new purchase for my AEA R88 and R121s? You get the same sound from the CE without the extra bling. Why were vocal recordings so much better in the 1950s. And a Dual Vandergraph. The AEA 44 we make is close to an original RCA 44, but there were many variations of the RCA 44 with slightly different sounds some not even made here in the US but across the pond. Has anyone used the active aea (expensive)? This 500 series stuff is addictive !!! So recommendations are wellcome! Different ribbon mics are as varied as, well, different condenser mics. Adam-I find your posts very informative. And a lunchbox. Create a username and password below and an account will be created and your post entered. It didn't have as much mojo in the midrange as some of the others, but the sound was huge, deep, and clear - not to mention dead quiet.... You need an account to post a reply. If you have a good pre-amp with lots of gain, you don't need the extra boost from an active ribbon mic.". I'm thinking about grabbing an AEA R44. I'm loving my AEA R44c. I use it with either a BAE 1073 or my API's. … (at least around here). If you can find 77s or 44s in good shape, by all means, BUY THEM! I use it with either a BAE 1073 or my API's. Learn more. It has theoretical a higher impedance input (20k Ohm vs/ >10k Ohm on the RPQ). R-84s are thin? I was comparing the R84 to the 4038 and SF12. its hard for me to describe the sound. Much better than a conventional hp filter or low shelf eq. So I've looked at the Flea47, Flea49 or maybe the AEA R44 (I like ribbons very much and own a pair of Coles 4038 and a Royer SF-12 - but not always the best choice for vocals...). Do you have a favorite mic for a solo violin? Here is the instrumentation: 5 horns-1 each of,trumpet, trombone, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones. We have set up a separate forum area to discuss everything related to the Coronavirus / COVID-19. Also the rpq is optimized impedance wise for the ribbon.

First off everyone probably knows 77s and 44s are very different mics. R-84s and SF-24 w-a-y far away (relatively speaking). They do have 2 Coles 4038 and 2 AEA R84. and for those who MAY need lots of clean boost for lower-output ribbons and dynamics, the less expensive ribbon pre from aea is all you need. Oliver Share Reply Quote. At high spl you need the outer ring at noon and then you get about 1/3 of the center pot before you have problems (EDIT: I swapped these, My experience is limmited to RCA 44 & 77, Coles 4038 and Royer sf1.

Sadly it's not possible for me to audition all 3 side by side. And thanks for all the great feedback folks. They do have 2 Coles 4038 and 2 AEA R84. Any AEA R44 users care to comment on this mic? I'm very curious about this 'specifically designed' AEA pre amp and I want to make sure I'm not missing out on anything my mic has to offer.
