Description Type: Vintage Microphone Model: 44-A Brand: RCA Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Up for sale is one 1930's RCA 44A, recently restored and re-ribboned by Clarence Kane of ENAK mics. This has ONE day of use after it was re-ribboned. Clarence also replaced the mesh screen on the mic, and re-wired the output for XLR male, for easy integration into any modern studio. Engraving indicates it was once used at NBC studios. The A model of RCA's 44 line is basically identical to the visually iconic umber-grey BX, albeit slightly rarer. Differences are its bronze finish, slightly lower-output magnetic material, and placement of the ribbon in the cage - the A's ribbon is more central, and thus slightly more Figure 8 than the BX. Otherwise, same EQ, transformer, and design. Same iconic sound, great for pretty much anything you throw it on. All scratches and patina documented in photos. Free shipping in continental US.
