{HOW IS THE N13 DIFFERENT FROM THE N8 AND N22?}
Discreet in both shape and size, AEA’s NUVO series microphones have long been user
favorites for their clarity, portability, and higher-output active electronics. The near-field
N22 delivers clarity and balance for close-up sources, while the far-field N8 excels at
capturing the open, natural tonality of entire rooms and ensembles. The only missing
piece? A stand-out mid-field companion.
Enter the N13, an equally sleek active ribbon designed with some distinctly different
considerations in mind. At once open and natural, the N13 excels at medium-distance
miking applications while demonstrating an impressive transient response. The N13
features a new motor design as well as a thinner, smaller ribbon (1.2 microns, rather than
our standard 1.8), making it our first non-Big Ribbon bidirectional mic!
Relatively bright and sonically distinct from our N22 model, the N13 excels in
capturing the subtle nuances of strings, acoustic guitars, and percussion. It’s also
well-suited for any sources that could use a boost in top-end clarity. Even when
used up close, such as on horns or vocals, the N13 delivers exceptional clarity while
also taking EQ extremely well. The N13’s unobtrusive size and dark slate gray finish
is ideal for live orchestral and TV work, where microphones need to be both
inconspicuous and easy to position.
{WHAT IS UNDER THE HOOD?}
With phantom-powered JFET electronics and a custom German transformer (identical to
the other NUVO models), the N13 performs equally well with a wide range of preamps
ranging from vintage high-end models to USB audio interfaces common in home studio
setups. The full potential of the N13 is perhaps best realized when configured in the NUVO
Stereo Kit, as it draws on the same successful sonic concepts as the AEA R88 stereo mic.
