AEA Ribbon Mics Inc. is a Pasadena, California-based manufacturer that designs and builds ribbon microphones, drawing on a history of RCA ribbon-mic work. Its products are intended to give groups of musicians a distinctive sonic signature, with a line of mics configured for a range of recording scenarios. The company began by servicing RCA ribbon microphones in 1976 and, by 1998, produced all parts for the RCA 44, after which it introduced its own version. Today it operates as a small to mid-sized firm that continues to advance ribbon technology and expands its manufacturing capabilities to support its evolving microphone lineup. In January 2026, AEA launched the FC2 two-channel tube preamplifier at NAMM, representing a notable addition to its product line.
