Warm Audio WA-44 Ribbon Microphone - RCA 44 style

The Warm Audio WA-44 is a ribbon microphone based on the legendary RCA 44 from the 1930s, one of the best-known microphones in the history of radio and recording. It features a full-length ribbon made of 99% Japanese aluminum, a heavy neodymium magnet, and an American CineMag transformer.

The WA-44 delivers powerful lows with a pronounced proximity effect, warm and rich midrange, and smooth highs. This makes it particularly suitable for recording vocals, brass, strings, guitar amplifiers, and drum room sounds. Its figure-8 polar pattern captures both the front and back. A shielded Gotham Star-Quad XLR cable and an embroidered bag are included.
