Huge Stereo Sound, Half the Size
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.
Use with any preamp, on any source
The N28 operates on standard 48V Phantom Power. This extra gain means you can
choose a preamp based on sound, not gain or input impedance. From your desktop
USB Interface all the way to boutique preamps, the N28’s active circuitry ensures you
will get a good signal from even the quietest sources. With an all-new impedance buffer
amp topology and 1:89 Lehle transformer, the N28 does an excellent job at preventing
noise interference on longer cable runs or when operating near lighting rigs.
Small footprint, big stereo performance
Packed into a sleek, compact design, the N28 delivers natural, immersive stereo sound
without the need for a dual mic setup. Featuring an all-new motor design with 1.13" long
ribbons, the N28 captures every nuance with exceptional clarity and depth, making it
ideal for both professional and home recording. Whether you’re in a studio or
performing live on stage, the N28 blends seamlessly into any space, offering high-
quality stereo audio without drawing attention to the mic itself.

performers use AEA’s NUVO series microphones on the road and in the studio.
Incredibly versatile and easy to use, the AEA N28 delivers the velvety sound of classic
