Warm Audio Warm WA 44

Warm Audio WA-44 Ribbon Microphone

The Warm Audio WA-44 is a meticulous, no-compromise homage to the most legendary active/passive studio ribbon microphone in recording history—the iconic RCA 44. Engineered to capture the lush, larger-than-life warmth, velvety smooth highs, and imposing physical presence that defined the golden age of broadcast and music production, the WA-44 pairs a handcrafted, ultra-thin Japanese aluminum ribbon element with a custom CineMag USA output transformer. Whether positioned in front of a soaring vocal take, a delicate acoustic guitar, or a booming brass section, the WA-44 delivers a deeply three-dimensional, natural transient response that eliminates digital harshness and wraps your tracks in rich, vintage analog prestige.
