Why Choose the AEA N28?
- Instant Blumlein Stereo: Two matched figure-8 ribbon transducers fixed in a 90° Blumlein configuration deliver breathtakingly precise stereo imagery without complex multi-mic setups.
- Optimized Performance: Featuring a brand-new motor design and a 1:89 Lehle transformer, the N28 offers fast transient reproduction and a mid-forward frequency response that cuts through the mix.
- Active Circuitry: Powered by 48V phantom power, the dual buffer-amp topology provides plenty of gain. This allows you to choose your preamp for its tone, rather than its power, ensuring a clean signal even on quiet sources.
- Discreet & Versatile: Its compact size makes it perfect for video shoots and live stages where you need world-class sound without a bulky footprint. It excels at distances from 8 inches to 3 feet.
- Built for Professionals: Proudly made in the U.S.A., it handles long cable runs and interference with ease, making it a reliable workhorse for both desktop interfaces and boutique studio racks.
