Andy Shauf is the featured artist in the first AEA Sessions video of 2020. With just his voice and guitar, Shauf spins a sobering story of infidelity revealed. 'Things I Do' was the first single from Shauf's latest album, 'The Neon Skyline'.
The KU5A was developed with the vocalist in mind. Its end-address directionality and tight supercardioid pattern make it ideal for focusing on a vocal while rejecting excessive bleed from other sources in a space. The N22 is a near-field ribbon microphone adept at capturing instruments from close up, with less low-end proximity effect. These mics work together brilliantly to capture a singer-songwriter like Andy Shauf
(Although the R88 appears in the video, none of its signal was used in the final mix.)
