It features a 30Hz–18kHz frequency response, 145dB max SPL, and superb off-axis rejection from its cardioid polar pattern. A built-in highpass filter is a very welcome addition: it can cut down to -10dB at 50Hz, making the WA-19 ideal for drum overheads, toms, vocals, snare bottom, guitar cabs, and more. The ventilated slots on the body of the WA-19 also reduce proximity effect, making it a great choice for acoustic guitar as well as guitar cabinets. Finally, the WA-19’s thin body shape facilitates easy placement, and while it may be thin, it’s built to last.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBringo the Ringo Mic to Your Studio\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe WA-19 is an exemplary clone of a classic mic known as “the Ringo mic” for its association with a certain drummer from Liverpool, though many other artists of the era certainly used it. Those aforementioned four lads often applied “the Ringo mic” as drum overheads. The Warm Audio WA-19 certainly shines in that application, but engineers have also found the WA-19 to be beautiful when used on acoustic guitar: its ventilated body slots cut down on proximity effect, allowing you to place it close without excessive boominess. Plus, the 50Hz highpass filter gives you an even clearer sound.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePlace It, Then Let It Be\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe pencil-thin body of the WA-19 makes placement easy in a wide variety of studio and stage environments. No matter where you position it, the WA-19’s excellent off-axis rejection, broad 30Hz–18kHz frequency response, and high max SPL of 145dB ensure a natural, focused sound across a huge range of sources.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Warm Audio Says...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe WA-19 faithfully recreates one of the most favored studio and live dynamic mics of the 1960s. Like the original adored by live and studio engineers, the WA-19 delivers a unique combination of dynamic mic functionality and studio-worthy condenser tones. With the critical noise rejection and reduced proximity effect of a dynamic, the WA-19 captures vibrant top-end for enhanced detail, surpassing many studio dynamic microphones. This sound has been leveraged by artists like The Beatles, Tame Impala, Slayer (Kerry King), and many more.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eA Bold Transducer \u0026amp; Critical Audio Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nTo deliver the sound profile of the lauded original, the WA-19 features a custom, hand-assembled dynamic cardioid humbucking capsule that blends the critical noise rejection of a dynamic microphone with the top-end clarity of a condenser. The WA-19 includes a variable acoustic high-pass filter ring that cuts up to 10dB at 50Hz, ideal for tightening up the tone and adding upper-midrange emphasis without any electronic phase shift often incurred from preamp high-pass filters. Additionally, ventilated slots on the side of the WA-19 body reduce proximity effect, eliminating boomy bass associated with placing the mic closer to louder sources and making editing a breeze as there are fewer unwanted bass frequencies competing in the mix.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Need To Know\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nLike the original 19-style dynamic mic, the WA-19 includes all the features that deliver a complete and professional recording experience.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe WA-19 showcases a uniquely crafted brass dynamic cardioid humbucking capsule, meticulously assembled by hand. This capsule combines the essential noise rejection of a dynamic microphone while delivering heightened clarity and a vibrant top-end for enhanced detail, surpassing many studio dynamic microphones.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nVents located down the side of the WA-19 help reduce proximity effect, ensuring troublesome bass due to close miking of loud sources is removed. This makes editing a breeze as there are fewer unwanted bass frequencies competing in the mix.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe WA-19 comes equipped with a versatile acoustic high-pass filter ring capable of reducing up to 10dB at 50Hz. The filter itself modifies the space behind the transducer in the WA-19 to remove unwanted sub-bass. This feature is perfect for refining the tone, emphasizing the upper midrange, and avoiding the typical electronic phase shift associated with preamp high-pass filters.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n[tabs] [tab title=\"FEATURES\"]\n\u003ch4\u003eWarm Audio WA-19 Dynamic Studio Microphone Features:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExemplary clone of the 1960s’ most famous mics — most associated with The Beatles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFantastic choice for drum overheads, bottom snare, acoustic guitar, voice, guitar cabs, and much more\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable highpass filter @50Hz with 0 to -10dB range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCardioid polar pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVentilated slots on the body reduce proximity effect and enable close-miking of louder sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30Hz – 18kHz frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e145dB Max SPL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/tab] [tab title=\"SPECIFICATIONS\"]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth\u003eMicrophone Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003eDynamic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth\u003ePolar Pattern\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003eCardioid\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003e30Hz-18kHz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth\u003eMax SPL\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003e145dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth\u003eOutput Impedance\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003e200 ohms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003e-53 dB (1V @ 1Pa)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003eSilver\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth\u003eConnector\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003eXLR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003e6\" x 1.4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003e0.5 lbs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003eWA19B UPC: 850031640405\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"reviews\" class=\"anchor\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-reviews\"\u003e\u003cheader class=\"product-reviews__header\"\u003e\u003c\/header\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n[\/tab][\/tabs]","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47600962994390,"sku":"WA-19B","price":5895.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/1001\/files\/warm-audio-wa-19-black-1.jpg?v=1767422540","url":"https:\/\/www.musicexperience.co.za\/products\/warm-audio-wa-19-black","provider":"Music Experience","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
