aea r84

[Big Kenny]

Has anyone had any vocal experience with this ribbon?
Generally, is it an appropriate addition, or is there a better ribbon out there for tenor (loud) voice?
Chain is able to add 60 clean db without any problem
Thanks for your attention

Are there better ribbons out there for vocals? Possibly, but if you're talking brand new, then you're probably talking about the AEA recreations of the RCA 44s, at more than 3 times the price of the R84. To me, the R84 is definitely the best ribbon for a home/project studio. It's miles ahead of the Beyer ribbons, much more versatile than the Royers (IMHO), and simply a class act all around. I'd give up my M149s before I gave up the R84.
