AEA Ribbon Mics Inc is an American audio equipment manufacturing company that manufactures ribbon microphones, professional audio electronics, and accessories based in Pasadena, California.
AEA (Audio Engineering Associates) was established by Wes Dooley in 1965 as a record label.
[1][2] Starting in 1976, AEA began repairing and servicing RCA 44BX ribbon microphones.
They have been servicing RCA ribbons since the 70s and have many spare parts in stock and available for purchase.
[8] The R44 is a re-creation of the RCA 44BX and is well accepted by professional audio engineers as a replacement for the classic version.
