AEA N13 Nuvo

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!

Features:

• AEA’s first bidirectional mic to feature a small ribbon (shorter, narrower, and thinner, at 1.2 microns!)
• Designed for optimal use at mid-field distances (~8”-36”)
• Highly-tuned for excellent transient response; captures sparking highs while smoothing lows
• Shines on horns, strings, acoustic guitar, and drum overheads
