Warm Audio WA-44 Ribbon Microphone

Description: eBay Listing Design by OCDesignsOnline Home View all listings About Us Feedback Faq Contact Us Warm Audio WA-44 Ribbon Microphone Description Item Includes Specifications Description Faithfully recreating one of the most iconic studio ribbon mics of all time, the WA-44 from Warm Audio meticulously resurrects the celebrated RCA 44 for modern studios. Sporting an impressively high max SPL of 140 dB, the WM-44 is ideal on a wide range of sources, including vocals, acoustic guitar, drums, strings, and even voiceovers. The WA-44 features the same tight figure-8 polar pattern as the original for optimal side-address noise rejection, while remaining useful for certain room, instrument, and broadcast recording scenarios. The custom CineMag USA transformer offers powerful bass, lush mids, a tamed high-end without harshness, and a pronounced proximity effect, perfect for broadcast and voiceovers. The WA-44 includes a pigtail Gotham XLR cable, a 3/8" stand adapter, an embroidered mic sock, and an embroidered microphone case. Timeless Ribbon Tone Delivering the iconic tonal experience at the center of recording and broadcast history, the WA-44 faithfully recreates the warm and vintage tones of the legendary RCA 44 ribbon mic of the 1930s. Sultry Vocals and Surprising Versatility True to the vintage original, the WA-44 captures powerful bass and rich midrange with an enhanced proximity effect. The WA-44 shows off its warm forgiving tone by taming top end harshness for smooth lead tones on vocals, horns, drums, and more. Like its inspiration, the WA-44 excels on loud audio sources and removes side-address noise with the tight figure-8 polar pattern. A great choice for vocal recordings that benefit from a reduction in high-end frequencies, the WA-44 is also ideal for capturing haunting horn sections, resonant acoustic instruments, sultry strings, flat drum sounds, deep piano tones, and much more. Vintage Build, Premium Components With a boutique-quality build design, the WA-44 is manufactured with exacting quality standards to match the most prized original RCA 44 vintage mics. The WA-44 pairs a true-to-length, custom-crafted Japanese ribbon with a heavy, true-to-size Neodymium magnet powered by a USA-made CineMag transformer to deliver vintage tone with added durability. Weighing in at over six pounds and including a Star-Quad shielded Gotham XLR cable connector and embroidered case, all of these components come together to revive a classic mic with a premium, vintage build. And like all Warm Audio gear, every single WA-44 is meticulously hand-tested and inspected by trained technicians in Austin, TX USA.
