About This Listing
The AEA R44CX Ribbon Microphone is identical to the AEA R44C except that the X option has 6dB more output than the original RCA 44B and BX with a slightly more forward sound and red accent marking.
The AEA R44C has the authentic sound, feel and look of the 1936-38 RCA-44. A museum quality replica hand made by AEA using 1.8 micron ribbon material originally manufactured by RCA. Museum grade version features details such as a bronze investment cast yoke rather than the factory zinc yoke. The ribbon element is only 1.8 microns thick, fabricated from material originally manufactured for RCA. The black and chrome "radio" finish is standard. Parts are interchangeable with the original RCA 44B and BX. R44C parts are also interchangeable with the original RCA 44B and BX. The microphone package includes a three meter cloth covered Accusound Silver Studio Pro cable, a zippered canvas bag, and AEA 44VC vertical case for proper shipping and storage.

The AEA R44C is truly a modern Classic. Its exterior speaks for itself. Close inspection reveals a design based on the technology that made the original RCA ribbon mics classics, and use of as many of the original type materials as possible.

Precision crafted and hand assembled The tradition continues.

Product Overview
When RCA's microphone division was shuttered in 1976, AEA founder Wes Dooley took to the task of setting up a service center in Pasadena, CA to repair these mics for the numerous Hollywood studios that owned them. 20 years later, AEA was manufacturing 100% of the components necessary for the 44BX and parlayed that into releasing their own microphones. As of 2015, it is estimated that more than half of all movie and television scoring done in Los Angeles features at least one AEA R44C somewhere on the recording.
Essentially, the AEA R44C is an exact replica of the RCA 44BX, right down to the NOS ribbon material. Every single individual piece of the R44C can be used on a 44BX and vice versa. The AEA version adopted a BBC modification that slightly reduced the microphones weight and hum-sensitivity.
A slightly higher output version, the R44CX, is also available. It increases the potential output by 6dB with a different motor for the ribbon.
