ALDER AUDIO is a startup launching with our H44 ribbon mic design, and we are out to prove that it is possible to make a world class microphone in the U.S. at a small company and at a reasonable price if you are willing to break some convention and adopt a practical approach. We are a company bent on offering a fantastic and affordable product and we invest little in marketing and polish. Our innovative H44 comes out of an uncompromising attitude toward high quality audio combined with a streamlined approach to design. We've put this together in a package that we sell only direct in order to offer the highest value possible.
