Product Description
Bringing back one of the most favored studio & live dynamic mics of the 1960s, the WA-19 blends the critical off-axis rejection, reduced proximity effect, and rugged metal construction of a dynamic with added clarity and richer detail similar to studio-worthy condenser tones. The acoustic high-pass filter ring can cut up to 10dB at 50Hz to remove unwanted low frequencies, making the WA-19 ideal for capturing enhanced detail of cymbals/overheads, acoustic guitar, studio & live vocals, snare bottom, guitar cabs and more. Reviving the original tone & capabilities, the WA-19 delivers the ideal balance between dynamic functionality and condenser-like character for a dynamic studio mic that you’ll want to try on almost anything in the studio or live.
Reviving A Favored Studio Dynamic:
The WA-19 delivers a unique combination of dynamic mic functionality and condenser-like clarity, faithfully recreating one of the most favored studio & live dynamics of the 1960s.
Dynamic Capabilities, Condenser-Like Character:
The WA-19 features a custom, hand-assembled dynamic cardioid humbucking capsule that blends the critical noise rejection & reduced proximity effect of a dynamic but with more clarity and airy top end for richer detail than most studio dynamics.
Control The Boom & Bass:
The WA-19 includes a variable acoustic high-pass filter ring that cuts up to 10dB at 50 Hz, 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.
Great Sound With Any Placement:
The thin pencil-style body design of the WA-19 allows for easy mic placement in crowded studio or live performance situations where mics are on top of each other - like recording acoustic guitar and vocals simultaneously, tracking a whole band, or miking a full drum kit. WA-19 has a dynamic humbucking coil that helps the mic deliver elite off-axis rejection, especially in the bass/lower midrange with minimal noise, making it easy to grab tight snare bottom tones without aggressive kick drum bleed.
Hand-Tested In Austin, TX:
Like all Warm Audio gear, every single WA-19 is meticulously hand-tested and inspected by trained technicians with a passion for making music in Austin, TX USA.
