Never before has a ribbon mic delivered as much clarity and breadth of sound in a package so fit for both studio and live settings as the supercardioid KU5A



The supercardioid KU5A breaks new ground in ribbon technology with its acutely focused directionality that rejects bleed from other instruments, room reflections, and loud ambience in the studio and on stage.

As a near-field ribbon designed for close range recording, the KU5A delivers the low-end heft and pronounced midrange one expects of AEA ribbons and with moderate, manageable proximity effect. Vocalists can sing directly into the grill of the KU5A, as its interior components are the most protected of any in the AEA lineup.

The KU5A is equipped with active electronics, fit for any preamp in the studio and on the road, as well as an integrated high-pass filter to roll off low end in close range recording applications.

    Parfait micro pour live et studio
    Le KU5A est surprenant à tous les niveaux. Je n'aurais jamais cru trouver un micro à ruban avec une polarité supercardioïde. Le son est détaillé, chaleureux sans être coloré, la réjection du bruit ambiant est excellente. J'ai utilisé ce micro pour la voix dans des pratiques avec un band complet et je n'ai jamais eu de problèmes de feedback. Read more

    Instant Classic!
    Worked with Louis to preorder this mic. I likely wouldn't have purchased it without his assistance but he tried it out at NAMM and now that I have it can say he was bang on. Great rejection, detail of a condenser but that beautiful smooth ribbon sound...also Read more
