{"product_id":"rca-44-a-ribbon-microphone-2","title":"RCA 44-A Ribbon Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere's an RCA 44-A Ribbon Microphone from the 1940's! The 44-A was the first of the legendary \"44\" series of microphones from RCA. While the 44-A and 44-BX are often times compared to one another, they are very different ribbon microphones with different motors. This 44-A has great low end and sounds excellent on drums and other sources that require good proximity effect. NBC used this microphone at some point in the past, as it has a period correct \"NBC 1753\" marking on the back side of the microphone. You'll find that these A microphones often need a good amount of gain, especially for quiet sources. This microphone is all original and in overall great condition for its age. It has been fully serviced with a ribbon replacement, new XLR cable, and new grill cloth. The yoke was repaired at some point, but was done professionally and is sturdy. The original logo plate is no longer present (likely because it was removed while in use at NBC), but has a period correct RCA logo installed. If you've been looking for a big sounding ribbon for less than the typical cost of a 44-BX, this is the microphone for you. Grab this 44-A Ribbon Microphone from RCA!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cole Picks Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48211781550272,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/0697\/4656\/files\/31FCA2A2-9FAF-439A-A561-66C02627EE8B.jpg?v=1777313126","url":"https:\/\/colepicksvintage.com\/products\/rca-44-a-ribbon-microphone-2","provider":"Cole Picks Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
