Warm Audio WA-44 – Studio Ribbon Microphone inspired by the RCA 44BX

The Warm Audio WA-44 is a faithful recreation of the most iconic studio ribbon microphone, the 1930s RCA 44BX.

The WA-44 captures these iconic sonic characteristics while bringing modern reliability and durability, perfectly suited for today’s studios.

Equipped with a 99.1% pure aluminum ribbon, custom-made in Japan with a 2.5-micron thickness, and paired with a high-power neodymium magnet, the WA-44 captures every nuance with remarkable precision and expressiveness. Combined with a custom CineMag USA transformer, it reproduces the full depth and warmth of vintage sound while ensuring perfect compatibility with modern equipment. Its robust steel construction and design faithful to the original make it as beautiful as it is high-performing.

With its figure-8 polar pattern, the WA-44 provides excellent side rejection and a natural capture of room ambience. Whether for expressive vocals, horn sections, piano, or room recording, this microphone excels in a wide range of applications. Supplied with a mic stand adapter, embroidered protective sock, and a carrying case, it is ready to become the centerpiece of your recording chain.
