 Warm Audio WA-44 Studio Ribbon Microphone Overview

  Warm Audio WA-44 studio ribbon microphone front view

Classic Broadcast Tone with Immediate Presence

Ribbon microphones from the 1930s are instantly recognizable, both visually and sonically. The WA-44 captures that unmistakable character, delivering bold low end, lush mids, and a smooth top that naturally reins in harshness on bright sources.

Whether you are recording vocals for music or speech, brass and woodwinds, or room ambience around a drum kit, the WA-44 presents sources with authority and depth that feels finished right from the start.

Vintage Sound Built with Modern Components

While the sound leans heavily into vintage character, the WA-44 is built using modern, reliable components. Its 2.5-micron thick ribbon is made from more than 99 percent aluminum and carefully matched to reproduce the response of classic broadcast ribbons.

A custom USA-made CineMag transformer and powerful neodymium magnet work together to produce the pronounced proximity effect and midrange focus that ribbon microphones are known for, without sacrificing durability or consistency.

A Modern Ribbon Mic That Earns Its Place in Any Studio

With its narrow figure-8 pickup pattern and high max SPL handling, the WA-44 performs just as confidently on loud sources as it does on subtle performances. Drum overheads, guitar amps, horns, strings, and piano all benefit from its focused capture and smooth tonal balance.

Included accessories such as a Gotham Star-Quad XLR cable and embroidered storage case make the Warm Audio WA-44 a complete, studio-ready solution designed for daily use.

Key Highlights

  • Faithful recreation of a legendary 1930s broadcast ribbon microphone
  • Rich proximity effect with smooth, naturally rolled-off highs
  • Tight figure-8 polar pattern for excellent off-axis rejection
  • Custom CineMag USA transformer and neodymium magnet design
  • High max SPL handling for loud sources like drums and brass
  • Includes Gotham Star-Quad XLR cable and embroidered storage case

If you're building a versatile microphone locker, explore more options in our microphones collection, and pair the WA-44 with a quality front end from our audio interface collection for reliable gain and clean signal capture.

Shipping & Returns

  • We deliver all US orders in 3–5 business days
  • Free cancellations
  • Returns accepted within 30 days (unused items)

Order Confirmation

Once your order is placed, you will receive an order confirmation email. This confirms that we have received your order and have pre-authorized your credit card for the purchase. After confirming availability with our suppliers, we will proceed accordingly:

  • If your item is available and ready to ship within 1–2 business days, we will process the charge and arrange for shipment.

  • If your item is on backorder or unavailable, the pre-authorization will be voided and you will be notified by email.

  • Please note: While most items ship out within 1–2 business days, total delivery time is typically 3–5 business days, depending on your location and carrier handling.

Order Shipment

If your item is in stock and your payment has been processed, your order will typically ship within 1–2 business days. Total delivery time is approximately 3–5 business days from the date of order. Once shipped, you will receive tracking information at the email address provided during checkout within 24 hours of dispatch.

If you have not received tracking information within 3–5 business days of placing your order, please contact us at support@proaudioreserve.com.

The Distributor-Direct Advantage

To ensure you receive the most recent hardware revisions and 100% factory-sealed units, Pro Audio Reserve utilizes a Distributor-Direct fulfillment model. Unlike big-box retailers that may ship "floor models" or gear that has been sitting in general-purpose warehouses, your equipment is pulled directly from the primary manufacturer hub, serialized, and dispatched. This process ensures the highest level of quality control for professional-grade recording equipment.

Shipping Policy

We currently offer free shipping within the United States only. If the checkout process on our website allows you to enter a shipping address and complete your order, your location is eligible to receive delivery.

Changing Shipping Address

If you need to change your shipping address after your order has been processed or shipped, we will do our best to accommodate the request. Please note that address changes may result in delivery delays. Any additional costs incurred due to address changes, including carrier fees or rerouting charges will be the responsibility of the customer. No exceptions.

Shipping Times

All shipping times provided are estimates and should not be considered guarantees. Most orders ship out within 1–2 business days from the time payment is processed. However, total delivery time is typically 3–5 business days, depending on your location, carrier performance, and supplier fulfillment timelines.

We work closely with our vendors to ensure timely deliveries, but please note that supply chain disruptions, high-demand periods, or weather events may occasionally cause delays beyond our control.

  • To avoid misunderstandings: The “shipping time” refers to the total time from order placement to final delivery, not just when the item leaves the warehouse.

  • Cancellations: If you choose to cancel your order because it has not arrived within the estimated delivery window, you may be responsible for applicable shipping charges, restocking fees, warehouse handling costs, and other related fees.

  • Chargebacks: Customers who initiate chargebacks due to shipping delays without contacting us first may be held legally responsible for losses. We strongly encourage open communication so we can resolve any delivery concerns directly and efficiently via our Atlanta-based support team.

Delivery Options

  • Threshold Shipping: Your item will be delivered to your front door, porch, garage, or a covered entryway.
