[Reviving Popular Studio Dynamics] The WA-19 uniquely combines dynamic microphone functionality with condenser-like clarity to faithfully recreate the most popular studio and live dynamics of the 1960s.
[Dynamic Capabilities & Condenser-Like Character] The WA-19 features a hand-assembled dynamic cardioid humbucking capsule, blending dynamic noise rejection and proximity effect reduction while delivering a crisper, airier top end with richer detail than most studio dynamics.
Controlling Boom & Bass: The WA-19 features variable acoustic high-pass filtering, allowing you to cut up to 10dB at 50Hz, perfect for tightening your tone and adding mid-range emphasis without the electronic phase shift that occurs with preamp high-pass filters. Additionally, ventilation slots on the sides of the WA-19 reduce the proximity effect, eliminating boomy bass caused by placing the microphone too close to a loud source.
Great Sound Anywhere: The WA-19's thin, pencil-style body design makes it easy to position the microphone in crowded studios and live performance situations, whether you're recording acoustic guitar and vocals simultaneously, tracking an entire band, or miking a full drum kit. The WA-19 features a dynamic humbucking coil that minimizes noise, especially in the bass and low midrange, making it easy to capture tight snare bottom tones without harsh kick drum bleed.
HAND TESTED IN AUSTIN, TX: Like all Warm Audio gear, the WA-19 is meticulously hand tested and inspected in Austin, Texas, USA by trained technicians with a passion for music production.
Reclaiming one of the most popular studio and live dynamic microphones from the 1960s, the WA-19 blends the clarity and rich detail of a studio-worthy condenser with the critical off-axis rejection, proximity effect reduction, and rugged metal construction of a dynamic. Acoustic high-pass filtering cuts up to 10dB at 50Hz to remove unwanted low frequencies, making the WA-19 ideal for capturing the details of cymbals/overheads, acoustic guitars, studio and live vocals, snare bottoms, guitar cabs, and more. Restoring the original tone and features, the WA-19 strikes the ideal balance of dynamic capability and condenser-like character, making it a dynamic studio microphone that's ready to try almost anything in the studio or live.
