New AEA44 VS Vintage 40's RCA44 Ribbon Microphone Shootout! #RCA44 #AEA44

The ultimate long ribbon shootout video - The gain hungry 44 is known as one of the world's most iconic microphones ever made. AEA has positioned themselves as the premier builder of the 44 replica... but which is actually better? Spoiler alert, they're both amazing :) Notice how different these two sound on vocals at close range yet how incredibly similar they sound as room mics on drums, proving once again that all mics are totally source dependent and sound great on some sources but not so great on others. This truth continues to amaze me as I study the nuances of audio engineering day to day at JML Recording Studios. Stay with us on this crazy audio adventure! Which is your favorite?
