The WA-44 is a faithful recreation of the most iconic studio ribbon microphone of all time. Just like the legendary RCA 44 ribbons of the 1930s, the WA-44 delivers warm, vintage, sultry tones and excels on loud audio sources. The tight figure-8 polar pattern removes side-address noise while its custom, vintage-matched ribbon and magnet together with a CineMag transformer deliver powerful bass with a pronounced proximity effect, lush mids, and a tamed top end, reducing excessive high end harshness. Featuring premium componenents and elite build quality, the WA-44 is the perfect choice for capturing lead tones on vocals, horns, acoustics, drums, piano, voice work and much more.

What is the WA-44 Studio Ribbon Microphone?
Ribbon microphones capture the top end gently rather than exaggerating it, which is why they sit so well on guitar cabinets, brass and drum overheads where a bright condenser turns brittle. The figure-of-eight pattern also rejects sound from the sides, giving useful control over what the microphone does not hear.

Why choose Warm Audio?
Ribbons are the classic answer to a source that sounds harsh on everything else. They are the difference between taming a guitar amp at the source and fighting it with EQ afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
What is a ribbon microphone good for?
Guitar cabinets, brass, strings and drum overheads. Anywhere a condenser sounds harsh.

Modern ribbons are robust, but avoid blowing into them and use a windscreen outdoors.
