"CLASSIC" RIBBON MICROPHONE SERIES

Audio Engineering Associates has produced a faithful complete full-size replica of the classic "Bing Crosby" version of the RCA-44 ribbon microphone. The R44C has the authentic sound , feel, and the look of the RCA 44BX. The R44CX is high output version of the R44C especially designed for scoring and other applications demanding a wide dynamic range with the "classic '44" sound. Available for prop use, and other applications are the R44SM, R77S and R77SM: black and chrome shells (also available in "RCA umber" finish) with an internal shock-suspension and cable for a user's microphone inside.

The AEA R44C has the authentic sound, feel, and the look of the RCA 44B and all parts interchange. The ribbon element is only 1.8 microns thick, fabricated from NOS (New Old Stock) material originally manufactured for RCA. A black / bright chrome "radio" finish is standard. The microphone package includes a cushion mount and AEA custom vertical storage and shipping case. Each R44C is built to order and is individually numbered and signed. A $500 deposit is required w/order.
