RCA 44 BX Microphone Sale

In this picture, you can see the tag which was placed on the microphone when a new ribbon was installed and it was completely checked.

Note the date of February 1, 2007.

These RCA 44BXs  have a very smooth sound which is characteristic of a ribbon microphone.

They were used almost exclusively for dramatic programs in that they have a figure eight pick up pattern so actors can stand on both sides of the microphone.  They were also designed for live music pickup because of the excellent bass response.

For voice, the microphone is designed to be worked no closer than 12 inches.   To do so tends to give an overly bassy sound on voice as would most any ribbon microphone.

The bottom of the base has a cover which can be easily removed with four small screws.  A jumper can be positioned which provides for attenuation of low frequencies.  It is known as the Voice and Music positions.

For voice work we always used the microphones in the Voice position and this 44 BX is so wired.  However, you can change it to the Music position in minutes.

This microphone comes with a dusk cover and carrying-shipping case.  Click on the microphone for details and more pictures or click HERE.
