Item specifics
Product Type: MicrophoneBrand: RCA
Exact Type: Ribbon MicRestored Manual: Accessory

This is not an old original manual. See my eBay store (click in the heading area above/right) to see the individual listings for the many restored RCA microphone manuals and documents available. The top category is Microphone Manuals.

The RCA 44-B was introduced in 1936, and was only available in Black/Chrome for radio. This manual contains four photos of the microphone, on a floor stand, on the 91-A desk stand (of which we have beautiful reproductions in both black and umber gray, see our other auctions), and on a suspension hanger for film use. The manual contains application information for using the mike with an orchestra, as well as with soloists, complete frequency and directional curves, a detailed wiring diagram, and a parts list including accessories. The manual contains complete specifications, but not in table form; they are scattered throughout the 8 pages of text in the manual. There are also photos of the various Canon connectors and jacks used with the microphone. This manual is essential to the understanding and use of the 44-B microphone and our restored version of the manual is authentic, very clean, and will give years of service for your microphone.

We also have restoration of the other RCA 44-BX (-B, -D),(-G) and (-H, -J, -K, and -L) ribbon microphone manuals in our auctions or eBay store listings. The dash version is usually found on a sticker inside the microphone as part of the MI (Master Index) number. These versions are the last (post-WWII) versions of the microphone produced.

The time-consuming restoration process involves carefully scanning the original manual into Adobe Photoshop and spending hours processing each page to produce a manual that looks better-than-new. All photos are stripped out and processed separately. All tears, marks, stains, etc. are removed from the original manual, even printing defects are corrected. The text is brought back to original sharpness and detail, as are all of the illustrations.

Our production standards are high: 

  • Each manual is individually printed in the USA. 
  • We use heavy photo paper for the glossy front and back covers, and
  • 32 lb. laser paper for the inside black & white pages and
  • 37lb imaging paper for any page with color
  • If the original RCA Manual had a blank page, so will ours!
  • 10-mil thick clear plastic sheets protect the front & back covers.
  • Everything is then bound with a plastic ring comb, so that the manual will open flat and be very durable.

This is a highly professional product that takes a lot of time to prepare, but it is worth it! eBay customer feedback has been very positive regarding quality. So, if you own one of these wonderful RCA microphones, you deserve a quality manual to go with it.

This is a good time to buy some of my collectible RCA Broadcast Microphone magnet sets, they can be shipped free with any combination of bags, manuals or T-shirt.  See my other listings for these magnet sets (each set has 4 magnets) each depicting a famous RCA microphone model. We have several different T-shirts designs.  Since we  combine shipping whenever possible -- be sure to alert us when you are making multiple purchases.  The magnets and t-shirts are attractive and very cool!
