Description
The WA-44 ribbon microphone and Warm Lifter mic preamp combination lets capture audio like never before. This premium set is designed to deliver rich, full tones for recording and live performance. The finely crafted WA-44 recreates the iconic sound of vintage RCA 44 mics from the 1930s. Paired with the Warm Lifter, an inline preamp, it provides 26dB of clean gain to enhance the WA-44's signal for connecting to interfaces and mixers. Together, the WA-44 and Warm Lifter are a dream team for musicians wanting vintage tone and power.
Iconic Ribbon Mic Tone
The WA-44 ribbon mic authentically captures the warm, vintage sound of renowned RCA 44 mics from the 1930s that shaped the tone of early recordings. Its aluminum ribbon and powerful magnets deliver a smooth frequency response with rich lows, pronounced mids and tamed highs. The WA-44's figure-8 pattern removes unwanted side noise while accentuating proximity effect. On vocals, horns, acoustic instruments or drums, the WA-44 ribbon mic adds a touch of sonic history.
Clean Gain for Optimal Signal
The Warm Lifter preamp provides 26dB of clean gain to enhance the WA-44's signal, allowing proper connection to interfaces, mixers and other equipment. Its low-noise JFET input and balanced signal path prevent signal loss, altered tone or phase issues. The Warm Lifter's 100Hz high-pass filter removes unwanted low frequencies. A switchable 3kHz high-shelf boost adds clarity to darker mic signals. For the WA-44 ribbon mic, the Warm Lifter is an ideal companion to optimize signal strength while maintaining vintage tone.
Roadworthy and Studio-Ready
The WA-44 and Warm Lifter are built to rigorous standards for both studio and live use. The WA-44's premium components are housed in a durable case able to withstand the demands of recording and performance. The Warm Lifter's rugged build makes it a workhorse, able to boost mic signal in any scenario. For ribbon mic tone with power to spare, the WA-44 and Warm Lifter deliver vintage sound and modern capability.
