For drums I put an AEA 88 out in front of the drums about 5 feet away to get an overall accurate picture. Sometimes it’s almost perfect and add very little. I also use it as an overhead. I think of the 88 as a way to capture what is really there in a friendly way. It has an elusive musical quality. When I’m mixing drums the 88 tracks usually become the starting point. I also use 121’s on guitars pretty often.

@@bobdhoffnarI fully agree. The 88 has become a drum room industry standard. But I was surprised how good it sounded as overheads. I ended up using it in my AEA drum session.

A client brought a tele e251 to shootout against some of our mics. We used our u87, Mojave MA-200, an R84 and her 251. We were incredibly picky in the shootout. She, frustratedly, felt much more free, open, and pleased with the sound of the r84. Amazing microphones

@@KohleAudioKult If we're specifically talking about the AEA brand I really like the KU5A on really bright speakers and sources. The Nuvo N22 can be great up close along with the R84A. However I think they shine when pulled back off the cab a bit, and in that case I really love the R44 and R84. If I'm recording a stereo guitar setup or trying to get the microphone to sum multiple speakers and cabs I'll use the R88.

@legacyShredder1 4 ай бұрын

@@shaharbar You're right, but what about the rest of the band? Drums, vocals, percussion, acoustic? Also, if I rely on IRs then I'm bound by the work and creativity of another person. I like ground up recording where the producer, engineer, and artists determines what is right for that specific song or album in that specific point in time.

As some others have said I love listening to companies like this and the people that work for them -- so passionate and proud. Their work drives other small businesses and it really is a beautiful thing. I'd really like to have one or more of their microphones at some point. Obviously they sound amazing but are aesthetically beautiful. The end of the video was great, lol! Taking out the trash!! Thanks Kohle.

The price for AEA microphones are 3 times higher inEU than in the US.. and I do wonder where those all that extra money go?

@drumtours2226 4 ай бұрын

AEA R88 mk2: Sweetwater 2528,9 - 2299$ + tax (depends on what state you are in, let's say 10%) Thomann: 2799 including tax When you calculate the import duty on it (tax), the exchange rate fluctuations (exchanging costs money) and the shipping it is not much more. I imported some drum stuff from the US to EU in the past. It is not worth the hassle.

@KohleAudioKult 4 ай бұрын

I don't see a significant difference to be honest. You can check the Thomann and Sweetwater prices in the links in the description!
