AEA KU5A | Supercardioid Ribbon Microphone | Vintage King

This is almost more of ad for that lovely BK5 they used. That's a good one!

[@nickafflitto7519]

Sick. I believe Alabama Shakes uses a pair of the originals as drum overheads for their live sound. Looking forward to checking these out!

Sounds nice, looking into it for brass instruments

Prefer the KU5A on vocals and BK5 on Acoustic BK5 on electric, but do think mic placement may change my view .... placing different mic's the same for a video could be bringing an advantage to one or the other

The RCA sounds much more warm and pleasant to my ears. Not that the AEA sounds bad, but I like the RCA better.

BK5 any time !

Can you guys do a demo on the snare drum. I have been unable to find any demo's on the snare and the sales rep mentions it sounds great on snare

[@joedickinson8329]

Hey Jeffrey Anthony - it sits really well on the snare due to its mid range detail, ability to take high SPL and it’s awesome off axis rejection. Really useful for snare as the hi-hats can be arranged in the null of the mic. Especially useful on stage 🙌

The KU5A is smoother sounding than the BK 5

RCA sounds so much nicer
