Great video dude thanks for sharing!

Great video, bravo!

Great sounding mics

I’m surprised at how much more I like the sound of the vintage 44, but the WA just needs more eq’ing to get a more even tone out of it is all.

Wow! The warm audio mic really packs some bottom end. I wasn't expecting that. Fantastic video, very informative!

Thank you!

Doesn't have the "glue" of the RCA that seems to happen in the mids, but clearer and more full-spectrum-sounding. A pair wouldn't be so bad to own, great for vox as well 👍🏻. The WA would pair well with analog tape recording of any kind

Hi Doug, thanks for your generous comments! I'm actually in Ajax.

fantastic video! Would love to hear opinions on the other warm audio throwback mic models

THE ELEPHANT😂

The drums were a very noticeable difference, with more high end in the RCA. The acoustic guitar was virtually identical. Did you all use a high impedance pre-amp or Cloudlifter Hi-Z for both mics?

Hi David, no inline booster/lifter was used. Both mics were straight into a set of Ward Beck 660's. The WA 44 was quite a bit more output, I turned it down to match the RCA but left it up a bit to show there was a difference. What I noticed on the acoustic was the WA 44 was very muddy sounding. but superior on the drums and vocals. I used Sennheiser DT 990 Pro headphones to put the video together, the differences are much more apparent on the phones. In my own studio, I always use an inline booster and sometimes with an impedance loading device.

i think the difference on the drums is mostly down to mic position. which is why the acoustic guitar sounds a lot more alike!

You say the other side is a little thinner. Have you ever recorded both sides and had the same experience when listening back? Because every time I do that they sound identical. And I heard it’s because hearing it with inverted phase live sounds different because of the room you’re in and even head shape and headphones play a part. but the actual sound is the same when listening back. I always flip phase on singers I record and ask what setting they hear themselves better in. Can be wildly different with headphones but always the same when recorded.

@@mikaellanden7218 Hi, you're absolutely correct if the mic has equal build design front and back. In my case with the 44-A it was just because of hearing my voice in headphones out of phase. Royer designs their mics to be thinner from behind by off setting the ribbon. Thanks for your comment, great info.

The Warm lacks upper mids and is noticibly noiser.
