Another Modern Classic Mic From Warm
Their acclaimed compressors and preamps have famously upset the pro audio price/performance ratio. When Warm Audio turned their attention to microphones, they set high targets: the most iconic large-diaphragm FET condenser mics in history. Behold the WA-14. It's based on a studio classic. Flash back to any top recording facility in the late 1970s. You'll see the classic EB everywhere. On pianos, acoustic guitars, overheads, vocals, brass, percussion — you name it. The all-brass, edge-terminated CK12 dual-backplate/dual-membrane capsule is a key ingredient in this mic's legendary sound. Warm Audio closely followed this timeless design when they engineered their own LK-12-B-60V Lens Kondensator for the WA-14. Stellar performance, top-shelf parts, and amazing value: that's the Warm formula — and the WA-14 nails it again.
What can the WA-14 do for you?
Every studio needs at least one pair of high-quality large-diaphragm condenser mics, and the Warm Audio WA-14 is designed after a legendary one. You can use the WA-14 on anything — with world-class results. It makes vocals shimmer. It makes pianos sit gorgeous in the track. It's a must-have for acoustic guitars. It's also an ideal choice for vibraphone, marimba, strings, and woodwinds. Its three polar patterns — cardioid, omni, and figure-8 — further increase the WA-14's impressive versatility, letting you experiment with stereo capture techniques such as Spaced Pair (A/B), X-Y (including Blumlein), ORTF array, and Mid-Side (MS). With this mic, you can do no wrong.
