AEA KU5A

This week we're looking at an amazing active ribbon mic from AEA, the KU5A. While it physically resembles an older RCA mic, the BK5A/B, the two mics share little else when it comes to internal design. We put the mic up on piano, electric guitar, upright bass, snare drum, and in front of trumpet in a live setting. Special thanks to: Deep Pockets for the demo today.
