Here’s an RCA 44-B Ribbon Microphone from the 1940’s! The RCA 44-B & BX are considered to be the best and most natural sounding ribbon microphones ever made. The 44-B is the exact same as the BX, except for the cable coming out of the bottom of the back of the body as opposed to the rear. 44-B’s have a big proximity effect when set for their M (music) setting, which can be made more flat by putting them on their V (voice) setting. Whether it’s drums, vocals, guitars, horns or strings, the RCA 44-B is a versatile ribbon with great output. This microphone is a great example of a 1940's era 44-B. This one is exceptionally clean internally, with a few some bumps to the outside paint. It has been serviced with a new ribbon, new XLR cable, and new grill cloth. If you’ve been looking for a clean 44-B that has been serviced and is ready for years of studio use, this is the microphone for you. Grab an iconic microphone in this 44-B from RCA!
