WARM AUDIO WA-19N

Description

The WA-19 revives a 1960s dynamic microphone that combines the typical off-axis attenuation, reduced proximity effect, and robust metal construction of a dynamic mic with the clarity and rich detail of a studio-quality condenser. The WA-19 offers a unique combination of dynamic microphone features and condenser-like clarity, bringing back one of the most beloved models from the 1960s. Featuring a custom, hand-assembled cardioid dynamic humbucking capsule in a rugged all-metal design, the WA-19 combines the undesirable noise rejection and reduced proximity effect of a dynamic mic, but with greater clarity and richer high-end detail than most studio dynamics. The WA-19 includes a variable high-pass filter that cuts up to 10 dB at 50 Hz, ideal for improving tone and adding emphasis to mid-high frequencies without the phase shift that can occur with preamplifier high-pass filters. The WA-19's slim, pencil-style body allows for easy microphone placement in more delicate studio or live situations where mic overlap is very common, such as simultaneous acoustic guitar and vocal recording, an entire band, or miking a full drum kit. The humbucking dynamic coil allows the microphone to provide optimal off-axis attenuation, particularly for mid/low frequencies, with minimal imperceptible noise. Furthermore, the WA-19's body structure allows for a reduced proximity effect, eliminating the risk of excess low frequencies associated with placing the microphone close to particular sources with higher sound emission. Available in two versions: Nickel and Black.
