Product information "AEA R44CX"

The AEA R44CX is a faithful recreation of the iconic RCA 44 microphone, enhanced with AEA’s proprietary “X-Motor” design for increased output and dynamic range. Featuring a modified R44 transducer with two additional magnets, the R44CX delivers an extra 6 dB of output without the use of active electronics. This classic ribbon microphone captures the smooth, natural tone that has defined recordings for over eight decades — from the lush brass of Hollywood soundtracks to warm jazz vocals and the massive drum sounds of classic rock. Built entirely in the USA using new-old-stock (NOS) RCA ribbon material, the R44CX offers museum-grade authenticity and unmatched sonic depth, ideal for capturing instruments and voices with stunning realism.
