Warm Audio WA-19-N – Vintage Style Dynamic Studio Microphone, Nickel

The WA-19 delivers a unique combination of dynamic mic functionality and condenser-like clarity, reviving one of the most favored studio & live dynamics of the 1960s. Featuring a custom, hand-assembled dynamic cardioid humbucking capsule in a rugged metal design, the WA-19 blends the critical noise rejection & reduced proximity effect of a dynamic but with more clarity and richer top-end detail than most studio dynamics. 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.

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. The dynamic humbucking coil 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. 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.

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.
