Cloud Microphone 44-A - Modern Classic with Dual Response Curves
Rediscover the timeless sound of the classic RCA Type 44 ribbon microphone with the Cloud 44-A, infused with cutting-edge technology for today's recording needs. While the ribbon remains true to its 1930s RCA origins, the 44-A incorporates 21st-century innovations, including Cloud's renowned Cloudlifter circuitry, delivering vintage warmth with contemporary clarity.
Voice or Music? You Choose.
The Cloud 44-A stands as the sole active ribbon microphone with switchable Voice/Music response curves, reminiscent of early RCA mics, allowing control over proximity effect. This patent-pending technology offers dual-frequency response voicing, perfect for various scenarios. With the "Voice" setting, reduce bass proximity effect for voiceovers and singers when close to the mic. It's also handy for taming intense low frequencies during close instrument capture. For those who prefer the ribbon's full bass response up close, switch to the "Music" setting. Embrace the unique sound of a ribbon mic on new sources.
This microphone requires phantom power and boasts an output level compatible with modern preamps. It comes with a Cloud U1 shockmount, a handcrafted wooden box, and a microfiber mic cover for proper storage and cleaning.
