Ideal for vocal and instrument recordings
The WA-14 Condenser Microphone is the perfect all-rounder microphone for both instruments and vocal performances. The wide frequency range and premium-grade internal components allow to achieve stellar audio quality for a range of sources. The large-diaphragm design is ideal for picking up the wide frequency range, and the microphone itself features an integrated variable pad and three selectable polar patterns.
The polar patterns include Cardioid, figure of eight and omnidirectional; ideal for a range of sources and applications. The output pad also features a three-position switch which allows you to attenuate your input signals, ideal for switching from electric guitar recordings to studio-grade vocal recordings.
Custom CineMag USA transformer and all-brass capsule
One of the most unique features of the microphone is the custom CineMag USA Transformer. This custom, premium-grade transformer ensures optimal audio performance, combined with the fully discrete classic circuitry toplogy, allowing you to achieve stellar results when it comes to recording.
The WA-14 also boasts an all-brass, edge-terminated custom capsule, designed to capture every nuance of your source audio in immense detail. The result is a rich top end and defined, punchy lows; reminiscent of the original CK-12 capsule. The 24k gold-sputtered diaphragm is skinned using a 6-micron, NOS Japanese PET film; resulting in a consistent and highly reliable capsule. The wide frequency response and exceptional tonality ensure optimal sonic performance for virtually any source.
Classic style design - complete with accessories
The versatile design of the Warm Audio WA-14 makes it ideal for everything from electric guitars and acoustic instruments to drums and vocals. The high impedance of 150 ohms means you can capture any source with ease, eliminating the need for external microphones; making it the perfect workhorse mic of any studio.
The microphone's design is based on the classic condenser microphone from the 70s era, providing realism and thickness that is reminiscent of vintage recordings. The attenuation pad and polar patterns are featured as three-position switches located on the front of the microphone. The microphone is finished with a sleek, black paint job that will blend into any existing studio setup. Additionally, the microphone comes complete with a shock mount and hard mount for added convenience.
