Vintage RCA 44-BX Ribbon Microphone – Rebuilt by Stephen Sank – Exceptional Condition
Up for sale is an original vintage RCA 44-BX ribbon microphone in exceptionally clean cosmetic condition. This microphone was professionally rebuilt by renowned ribbon-microphone specialist Stephen Sank, making it an outstanding example for both serious studio use and high-end collecting.
The RCA 44-BX is one of the most iconic microphones ever produced, celebrated for its rich low end, smooth natural top end, full midrange, and classic figure-8 polar response. It is particularly beautiful on vocals, guitar cabinets, brass, strings, drum rooms, and any source that benefits from a warm, authoritative vintage sound.
This microphone retains its original RCA badge and integrated yoke mount. It has been carefully stored and handled, and its condition is remarkable for a microphone of this age. The Stephen Sank rebuild adds significant value and confidence for anyone looking for an RCA 44-BX that is ready for professional studio use.
These microphones—especially examples this clean and rebuilt by a respected specialist—are becoming increasingly difficult to find. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine, collector-grade RCA 44-BX with the sound, history, and unmistakable appearance that made it a studio legend.
The microphone will be packed with exceptional care and shipped fully insured. Local pickup is also welcome.
