Introducing the Mid-field 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 AEA’s standard 1.8), making it AEA’s first non-Big Ribbon bidirectional mic!
- 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
