AEA NUVO N13 - Mid-Field Active Ribbon MicrophoneThe AEA N13 is designed to be natural and open at a mid field distance, with a particularly strong ability to pick up fast transients. Relatively bright for a ribbon mic, the N13 microphone excels in capturing drum overheads, strings, acoustic guitars, and piano. With phantom powered JFET electronics and a custom German transformer, the N13 performs equally well with a wide range of preamps ranging from vintage high end models to USB audio interfaces
