After starting his career under Grammy winning producer Mike Hedges at the legendary Wessex Studios, Robbie went freelance back in 2004, becoming the engineer of choice for many leading producers.

"I've been using the CM12se as my main mono drum overhead on pretty much everything I've done since we got it. I am pleased to say I am still loving both mics"

EVERYTHING!!"

initial reaction on the CM67se: "We love it"
The Nashville crew at House of Blues Studios recently used the CM67se on Joe Ely. AA is happy to send them out another 67se, a pair of CM251's and a pair of CM12se's. We look forward to having them used on the many artists who record there!

"The CM12SE became the principal vocal mic on this last album I've just done for EMI in London, sounded great on the lady in question, ahead of various mics M150, and M149 included.... So, thanks again for the quick turnaround, and informed advice. "

"I recently used one of your prototype CM12SE mics at Crew Studios in Vancouver, currently working on an Elvis Costello and the Roots album, it was perfect for Elvis´s voice and it sounded amazing. I´ll be mentioning you and your microphone in the credits of the album, it was that great. I don´t even have to EQ it.
Great work."

"AA microphones have immediately taken a place in my mic selection for tracking. They've been used to recording everything from drums to vocals. I'm able to make micing choices based on my preferences for their older counterparts and have very similar sonic result. The character of each AA microphone is true enough to it's inspiration that it's easy to achieve the sound I know I want without the need to use much in the way of EQ. With a price much lower than vintage or other boutique mics, they are an easy choice.
