The AEA TRP (The Ribbon Pre) is a high-gain, ultra-low-noise preamp built specifically to bring ribbon and other low-output mics to life. With up to 83dB of clean gain, it preserves every nuance without adding colour, making it a favourite in studios needing accuracy with vintage RCA ribbons or modern designs alike. Compact and transparent, it’s been praised by engineers across jazz, classical, and acoustic sessions for delivering natural tone with heaps of headroom.
