Description

Warm Audio WA-44 Ribbon Microphone

Faithfully recreating the iconic studio ribbon mic, the Warm Audio WA-44 Ribbon Microphone revives the renowned RCA 44 for modern studios. With an impressive max SPL of 140 dB, the WM-44 excels on various sources including vocals, acoustic guitar, drums, strings, and voiceovers.

Featuring the original tight figure-8 polar pattern, the WA-44 effectively rejects side-address noise while remaining versatile in room, instrument, and broadcast recording scenarios. The custom CineMag USA transformer delivers powerful bass, rich mids, a smooth high-end without harshness, and a prominent proximity effect, making it ideal for broadcast and voiceovers. Additionally, the WA-44 comes with a pigtail Gotham XLR cable, a 3/8" stand adapter, an embroidered mic sock, and a microphone case.

Warm Audio Warm Lifter Inline Active Microphone Preamp

The Warm Audio Warm Lifter Inline Active Microphone Preamp is specifically designed for amplifying low-output or passive microphones and supporting long cable runs. It provides a substantial 26 dB of clean analogue gain while maintaining true impedance matching, guaranteeing synchronisation between your microphones and audio destinations. Additionally, it features a 100 Hz high-pass filter and a 3 kHz shelving boost, allowing you to shape and refine your tones as desired.

This device incorporates an ultralow-noise JFET input that is balanced, as well as a balanced output. Furthermore, it operates on 48V phantom power. Its construction is built to withstand rigorous usage in both studio settings and busy live venues, ensuring its durability during long tours and years of abuse. Each Warm Lifter unit undergoes meticulous hand-testing and inspection by trained technicians in Austin, TX, adhering to Warm Audio's commitment to delivering high-quality gear.
