The NUVO Blumlein Coupler achieves this mechanically: it connects two N22 or N8 microphones top-to-top, holding both capsules at the same spatial point with a 90° angle between their axes. Once fitted, the coupler locks both microphones in that relationship — the geometry does not shift when the rig is moved, when the stand position is adjusted, or when cables are managed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlumlein and Mid-Side — Two Techniques, One Adapter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coupler covers both principal coincident stereo techniques using figure-eight microphones. In Blumlein configuration, both N22 or N8 microphones are set at 90° at a shared capsule point — left and right channels captured through the front and rear lobes of the figure-eight patterns. Rotating one microphone 45° on the vertical axis reconfigures the pair as Mid-Side: one microphone facing the source (Mid), the other oriented sideways (Side) — with the same coupler geometry and full stereo width control at the mixer. The NUVO Coupler is standard in the NUVO Stereo Kit and is available separately as a standalone accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePositional Stability as a Repeatability Requirement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo separate microphone clips on a stereo bar never reliably reproduce the same coincident geometry as a dedicated coupler — even with careful placement, a few millimetres of capsule offset are audible in the stereo image at close miking distances. The NUVO Coupler removes that variable: both microphones are mechanically locked in a fixed spatial relationship and hold that geometry throughout a session regardless of how many times the rig is repositioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop-to-top mounting\u003c\/strong\u003e — both microphone capsules at a shared spatial point, zero phase offset at a centred source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlumlein and Mid-Side support\u003c\/strong\u003e — one adapter covers both principal coincident stereo techniques with figure-eight microphones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePositional lock\u003c\/strong\u003e — both microphones mechanically secured during stand repositioning and rig movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e AEA N22, AEA N8.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard NUVO Stereo Kit component\u003c\/strong\u003e — identical model to the separately available accessory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blumlein head-to-head stereo coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupported techniques:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blumlein (90°), Mid-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone mounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top-to-top (shared capsule point)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e AEA N22, AEA N8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNUVO Stereo Kit inclusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × NUVO Blumlein Coupler per kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA (Pasadena, CA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AEA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069044871505,"sku":"50975","price":24.91,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/AEANUVOSeriesStereoCoupler1.jpg?v=1781520994","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/aea-nuvo-series-stereo-coupler","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
