Active Ribbon Microphone
The AEA A440 is an active ribbon microphone and an exact replica of the vintage RCA 44BX ribbon microphone, considered the most musical-sounding microphone ever built.
The active AEA A440 is an ultra-premium version of the R44C. It comes complete with a custom Lehle transformer, RPQ JFET preamp electronics, and a hotrod "X" motor, and is the quietest ribbon microphone ever produced. It retains the same sonic character as the passive R44C, but with an additional 18dB of output and greater flexibility with different preamplifiers. Many engineers prefer their A440s over their vintage RCA 44s due to the noise performance advantages.
Effective on a wide range of instruments and rooms, the AEA A440 strengthens mids and lows while attenuating harsh high frequencies, to produce a multidimensional sound unlike any other microphone in the world.
Used to record any sound source, from singers to full orchestras, the AEA A440 is the ideal choice, as it captures the tone of any voice or instrument while imprinting its legendary ribbon character.
The R44 series microphones all share the authentic sound, feel, and appearance of the 1936-38 RCA 44BX. The R44 series microphones are all detailed, handcrafted replicas, using parts made to be interchangeable with an original RCA 44.
