Warm Audio WA-14 Large-Diaphragm Multipattern Condenser Microphone

Warm Audio WA-14

Inspired by a vintage ’70s mic, the Warm Audio WA-14 Large Condenser Microphone the sound of a popular studio staple to a price class that’s more accessible to musicians, singer-songwriters, and project studio engineers.

Boasting a custom CK12-style capsule with dual diaphragms, the Warm Audio WA-14 Large Condenser Microphone delivers classic tone along with three selectable polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8—to allow the flexibility needed to handle anything from lead vocals to room capture.

In addition to the custom 1″ gold-sputtered capsule, the Warm Audio WA-14 Large Condenser Microphone utilizes tantalum and WIMA film capacitors and a CineMag USA transformer, completing the fully discrete signal path with high-quality components.

Next to the polar pattern selector on the front of the mic is a switch for the pad, which can be set to -10 or -20 dB. At the -20 dB position, the WA-14 Large Condenser Microphone is capable of taking intense sound pressure levels up to 150 dB without distortion.

Both a vibration-inhibiting shockmount and a space-saving hard mount are supplied with the Warm Audio WA-14 Large-Diaphragm Multipattern Condenser Microphone microphone.
