Description
AEA R44CX Ribbon Microphone - Higher Output Version Details
The AEA R44CX is identical to the AEA R44C except that the X option has 6dB more output than the original RCA 44B and BX with a slightly more forward sound and red accent marking.
The AEA R44C has the authentic sound, feel and look of the 1936-38 RCA-44. A museum quality replica hand made by AEA using 1.8 micron ribbon material originally manufactured by RCA. Museum grade version features details such as a bronze investment cast yoke rather than the factory zinc yoke. The ribbon element is only 1.8 microns thick, fabricated from material originally manufactured for RCA. The black and chrome "radio" finish is standard. Parts are interchangeable with the original RCA 44B and BX. R44C parts are also interchangeable with the original RCA 44B and BX. The microphone package includes a three meter cloth covered Accusound Silver Studio Pro cable, a zippered canvas bag, and AEA 44VC vertical case for proper shipping and storage.
The AEA R44C is truly a modern Classic. Its exterior speaks for itself. Close inspection reveals a design based on the technology that made the original RCA ribbon mics classics, and use of as many of the original type materials as possible. Painstaking research by ribbon mic specialists has gone into making the AEA R44C sound as good as it looks. Bi-Directional Ribbon Microphone Classic sound and appearance. Precision crafted and hand assembled The tradition continues. AEA R44CX version provides substantially more output suitable for dynamic range of digital recordings,film scoring or use with lower gain microphone preamps.

User Comments On The AEA R44 Series
"These are the best f#%*ing mics I've ever used!"
–
Eddie Van Halen
,
Guitarist, Van Halen, Los Angeles
"They are BEYOND wonderful. I used them extensively on my recordings for the new Who record - on my vocals, acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos, piano, string quartet (the stereo)...It is without question the best mike I have ever used. The best sound I've ever achieved without tweaking a single knob apart from mic gain. I feel as though I've gone back in time to a place where getting a sound was easy. It's almost impossible to make it sound bad!"

"I've been thoroughly enjoying my R44CNE and use it on nearly ever project that comes through the door. It's got such a beautiful tone and, of course, it looks impressive, too!!!!!"
