Warm Audio WA-44 Studio Ribbon Microphone
The WA-44 is a faithful recreation of the most famous studio ribbon microphone of all time. Just like the legendary RCA 44 ribbon mics from the 1930s, the WA-44 delivers warm, vintage-style, full-bodied tones and is perfectly suited for loud sound sources.
The figure-8 polar pattern eliminates unwanted noise, while the ribbon and magnet—specifically tuned for a vintage-style response—work together with the CineMag transformer to produce powerful low-end with a pronounced proximity effect, rich midrange, and smooth highs that tame harshness in the upper frequencies.
With its premium components and outstanding build quality, the WA-44 is the perfect choice for recording lead sources such as vocals, brass, acoustic instruments, drums, piano, and more.
