AEA R44C Museum-Quality Reproduction Ribbon Microphone

The AEA R44C is an exact replica of the vintage RCA 44BX ribbon microphone, considered the most musical sounding microphone ever built.

The AEA R44 maintains an iconic legacy of great ribbon mics by delivering a rich sound full of character and color. Many of the 20th century’s most iconic recordings were recorded by the R44. Effective on a broad range of instruments and rooms, the R44 bolsters mids and lows while smoothing harsh high frequencies to produce a multi-dimensional sound unlike that of any microphone the world over.

Used on everything from crooning vocalists to full orchestras, the R44 is the ideal choice to capture the tone of any voice or instrument while imparting its legendary ribbon character.
