N22 Stereo Kit Microphone (2 N22, SKB case, SMS Stereo Bar, 2 Windscreens, Blumiein Coupler)

The Acclaimed N22 Ribbon Mic, in a Stereo Kit

You need a great ribbon mic, and Sweetwater's got it: the AEA N22. With its increased upper-mid presence, this handcrafted, US-made microphone is not only designed to punch through the mix — it's built to last. Boasting AEA's acclaimed 2.35" Big Ribbon, the N22 sports robust ribbon protection and reduced proximity effect, so you can close-mic without worry. A custom German-made transformer provides excellent bandwidth, consistency, and distortion characteristics, while phantom power lets you work with a wide range of preamps. The AEA N22 Stereo kit gives you a matched stereo pair of these excellent microphones, plus an SMS stereo bar, two NUVO windscreens, a Posi-Lok mic hanger, NUVO Blumlein coupler, mounting hardware, and a heavy-duty SKB travel case.
