Warm AudioWA-44 Studio Ribbon Microphone

Warm Audio WA-44

Discover the timeless tone of one of the most sought after vintage ribbon mics of all time with the Warm Audio WA-44, delivering the warm, nostalgic quality of the legendary RCA-44 to vocals, horns, drums, and more. Ribbon mics are beloved for the somewhat unnatural and vintage tone they impart on signals, with a high frequency roll off of harsh highs, enhanced bass presence, and pronounced proximity effect. The WA-44 faithfully models one of the most iconic ribbons in the vintage microphone arsenal, now available with modern construction, making these often expensive vintage mics more accessible and long-lasting for the next generation of recording engineers.

In lock-step with its 1930s counterpart, the WA-44 features a tight figure-8 polar pattern beautifully rejects side-address noise. Its vintage-matched ribbon, neodymium magnet, and CineMag transformer work together to capture signals with lush mid-range and powerful bass while keeping harsh high frequencies under control, making it perfect for loud sources like horns, guitar amps, and even drum overheads. Highly flexible, the WA-44 is also a fantastic choice to impart a vintage feel on breathy vocals and broadcast applications. For a timeless vintage sound with premium modern construction, the WA-44 delivers exceptional old-school sound that adds value to any microphone collection.
