When Warm Audio turned their attention to microphones, they set high targets: the most iconic large-diaphragm FET condenser mics in history. Behold the WA-14. It's based on a studio classic. Flash back to any top recording facility in the late 1970s. You'll see its venerable progenitor everywhere. On pianos, acoustic guitars, overheads, vocals, brass, percussion — you name it. Music Experience engineers who have worked with this perennial studio favorite know that the all-brass, edge-terminated CK12 dual-backplate\/dual-membrane capsule is a key ingredient in this mic's legendary sound. Warm Audio closely followed this timeless design when they engineered their own LK-12-B-60V Lens Kondensator for the WA-14. Stellar performance, top-shelf parts, and amazing value: that's the Warm formula — and the WA-14 nails it again.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat can the WA-14 do for you?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nEvery studio needs at least one pair of high-quality large-diaphragm condenser mics, and the Warm Audio WA-14 is designed after a legendary one. You can use the WA-14 on anything — with world-class results. It makes vocals shimmer. It makes pianos sit gorgeous in the track. It's a must-have for acoustic guitars. It's also an ideal choice for vibraphone, marimba, strings, and woodwinds. Its three polar patterns — cardioid, omni, and figure-8 — further increase the WA-14's impressive versatility, letting you experiment with stereo capture techniques such as Spaced Pair (A\/B), X-Y (including Blumlein), ORTF array, and Mid-Side (MS). With this mic, you can do no wrong.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQuality components make the Warm difference\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nWarm Audio doesn't cut corners on components, but they do order parts and build in quantity, which keeps costs down and delivers amazing value. The WA-14 is built with premium components such as the LK-12-B-60V Lens Kondensator (a high-quality reproduction of the coveted vintage CK12 capsule) and a genuine USA-made Cinemag output transformer. It features an all-discrete signal path with tantalum, polystyrene, and WIMA capacitors. Premium parts and meticulous design deliver a superior-sounding microphone — one that doesn't cost a fortune. Give the WA-14 an audition in your studio: you will hear what we're talking about.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Warm Audio Says...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Reference Condenser\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe WA-14 is an authentic recreation of the ultra-rare “EB-circuit” 414-style microphone, the most truthful studio mic of all time. Ideal for capturing the natural sound of performances, the WA-14 delivers the same sonic performance of the original - a favorite of artists like The Police, Common, Freddie Mercury, and Billy Corgan.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTrue Character \u0026amp; Clarity\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe WA-14 achieves the same sonic performance of its original “EB” inspiration, delivering clear mids, controlled bass, and accurate high-end emphasis for recordings that stay true to the original performance. For this reason, the WA-14 and the vintage original are celebrated as the ultimate \"jack of all trades\" mic.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat you need to know\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nLike the original EB 414-style mic, the WA-14 includes all the features that deliver a complete and professional recording experience.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThree polar patterns (cardioid, omni, and figure-8) give you a variety of options to choose how you want to capture sound and reject noise.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe -10 \/ -20 dB pad provides more headroom to record loud sources with the impressive detail of a large diaphragm condenser.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nUnlike nylon iterations of this capsule, the brass CK12-style capsule in the WA-14 delivers the vintage performance of the original pairing natural midrange with smooth top-end.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe WA-14 SP package comes with a stereo mounting bar for easy recording setup and an ultra-durable flight case for storage and travel.
