Sound On Sound Reviews the AEA RPQ
"If you're a fan of ribbon mics — and you have this kind of budget available — the RPQ is a must-buy product. I was astonished at how much better every ribbon I've ever reviewed sounded when it was connected to the TRP preamp as compared to other preamps (whether budget, professional or high-end boutique), and this RPQ version matches that all the way."

TapeOp Reviews the AEA RPQ
"The RPQ had so much clean gain that I was easily able to drive a ProTools input into the red ... I moved through all the ribbons one by one, marveling at how quiet the preamp was."
