Here’s an RCA 44-BX Ribbon Microphone from the 1950’s! The RCA 44-BX is considered to be one of the best and most natural sounding ribbon microphones ever made. 44-BX’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-BX is a versatile ribbon with great output. This 44 is sounding great with a new ribbon, new grill cloth, and a new XLR cable. The lower body shell was replaced with a period correct shell (the original had some corrosion) and has was repainted, otherwise everything is original. If you’ve been looking for a good 44-BX 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-BX from RCA!
