The AEA N28 is a compact active stereo ribbon microphone consisting of two matched bidirectional (or figure-of-8) ribbon transducers in a fixed Blumlein configuration. The N28 offers an effortless way to capture natural stereo, providing an authentic representation of a performance in its environment. Distinguishing itself from other AEA Stereo Ribbon Mics, the N28 is compact, maneuverable, and easy to use, making it ideal for a wide range of applications without the need for a multi-mic setup.
Whether for drum overheads, room ambiance, or close-miked stringed instruments, the N28 delivers a phase-coherent, accurate response. Its mid-forward frequency response, tamed proximity effect, and quick transient response make it versatile across various sources. The N28 excels on darker sources and is a practical solution for capturing a stereo image without drawing attention to the mic itself.
