Hi Christian,
Today, AEA Ribbon Mics released Behind the Ribbon | The AEA Story a new documentary tracing the ribbon microphone from its roots in American broadcasting and film to AEA’s Pasadena workshop, where the company continues to build microphones by hand.
Would you be interested in covering the documentary? Beyond the release itself, it could also serve as a jumping-off point for a broader story about the state of pro audio manufacturing in the United States, including the challenges of retaining specialized skills, supplier relationships and domestic production.
If you are working on a related story or feature, I can connect you with AEA owner and CEO Julie Tan or Director of Operations Paul Pegas for an interview. Founder Wes Dooley can also answer questions by email.
The full press release is below, and the documentary can be viewed here: youtu.be Thank you,
Hunter
