The R44C is a bi-directional ribbon microphone that recreates the famous 1936 RCA44 design. Precision-crafted and hand-assembled as museum-quality replicas these microphones retain the classic sound as well as the appearance. The 1.8 micron ribbon material is the same as used for the RCA 44B and BX, and all other parts are interchangeable. Output is via a 2 m hard-wired cloth-covered cable. Also available with the X-Motor version which is a “hot rod” mod featuring a modified R44C transducer that includes two additional magnets with an extra 6 dB of output. The X-Motor version has a Red badge on the outside of the microphone body instead of a Black badge as in the standard version.
