Possibly the most influential and important ribbon microphone in the history of recording, this RCA 44-A was used at the consignor's father's radio station as a broadcast and interview mic for decades. Well-loved and well-maintained, it serves admirably and musically across a variety of sources: brass, strings, woodwinds, electric guitar, and, of course, vocals. We love it as a mono room mic for drums!

Whether it was the smooth brass section of the soundtrack of a classic Hollywood film, the velvety lushness of a jazz vocal or the larger-than-life drum sound of a classic rock recording, chances are an RCA 44-series ribbon microphone was used in the studio when the sound was created.

In use for more than 80 years in recording and broadcast studios throughout the world, the RCA 44 ribbon design is as rich in history as it is in sound and character. This instantly recognizable sound produces thunderous lows due to the strong proximity effect, full and rich midrange and a unique top end taking the edge off of harsh instruments.
