Ribbon Microphone

The R44CE is the value edition of the R44C. The R44CE contains the same motors as its museum-quality counterparts, but use a less expensive shell for those who are interested in having that 44 sound, but would rather not pay for the museum-quality trimmings. It comes with a black transformer case with white emblem logo and one-piece cushion mount, satin nickel grill and formed steel yoke with a satin nickel finish. The R44CE comes with a captive three-meter starquad XLR output cable and AEA 44VC vertical carrying case for proper shipping and storage.
