The Warm Audio WA-44 Studio Ribbon Microphone is a faithful recreation of one of the most legendary broadcast ribbon microphones ever made. Revered since the 1930s for its rich, warm tone and unmistakable presence, the original 44 became a studio and broadcast staple. Now, Warm Audio has brought this iconic sound back with the WA-44, delivering vintage authenticity and modern reliability. At its core, the WA-44 uses a finely engineered 2.5-micron aluminum ribbon, a robust neodymium magnet, and a custom CineMag USA transformer to reproduce the smooth top end, lush midrange, and bold proximity effect that made the original so famous. With its tight figure-8 polar pattern, the WA-44 captures your source with precision while rejecting off-axis noise for cleaner, more focused recordings. Capable of handling up to 140dB SPL with a broad 20Hz–20kHz frequency response, the WA-44 is equally at home recording delicate acoustic instruments, full drum kits, horns, strings, piano, and lead vocals. Its ability to tame harshness and deliver a natural, velvety tone makes it an invaluable tool for engineers and artists seeking a timeless ribbon mic character.Bundled with a premium Gotham Star-Quad XLR cable and a protective case, the WA-44 is ready for professional use right out of the box. Whether you’re capturing vocals for broadcast, adding vintage depth to instruments, or recording entire ensembles, the Warm Audio WA-44 delivers legendary ribbon sound with uncompromising Warm Audio quality.

With its smooth top end, rich mids, and signature proximity effect, it delivers the warm, vintage character heard on countless classic recordings and broadcasts while being reliable for modern studio use.
- 2.5-Micron Aluminum Ribbon For Smooth Vintage Tone: Featuring a precision-crafted 2.5-micron ribbon made from over 99% pure aluminum, the WA-44 delivers authentic ribbon warmth and detail. This design ensures silky highs, lush mids, and a bold low end, making it perfect for capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, brass, strings, and drums with natural smoothness.
- Figure-8 Polar Pattern With Superb Off-Axis Rejection: The WA-44 employs a bidirectional figure-8 polar pattern that provides exceptional rejection of unwanted off-axis sound. This creates a focused, clean capture of your source while still allowing creative room and ambiance techniques, making it versatile for vocals, voice work, ensembles, and instruments alike.
- Premium Components With CineMag USA Transformer: Built with a powerful neodymium magnet and a custom CineMag USA transformer, the WA-44 ensures superior sonic performance and reliability.

The new WA-87 R2 uses top-quality components like a NOS Fairchild transistor and high-bandwidth polystyrene and film capacitors from Wima. The WA-87 R2 uses a custom-wound Cinemag USA output transformer like the original WA-87 did, with the new version providing a slightly increased output level and improved frequency response. We also employed the same capsule the WA-87 uses, which was designed to the exact specifications of the ones found in the vintage mics. The WA-87 R2 also features three polar patterns (cardioid, omni and figure 8) so you're covered for a wide variety of applications, and an 80Hz high pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble if needed. The switchable -10dB pad comes in handy when you want to record extremely loud sources and not overload the internal electronics. The WA-87 R2 works brilliantly on vocals, drum overheads, guitars, piano, auxiliary percussion, brass, strings and more. Not only that, it's the same price as the original WA-87, so you can afford to have several in your mic locker!
