Blast From The Past The WA-14 is a classic condenser microphone based on the
early 1970's microphone used on countless hit records. The WA-14 utilizes a
custom all-brass CK12-style capsule, CineMag USA transformer, and a fully
discrete signal path. The WA-14 can be used on an array of sources, such as;
punchy/warm intimate lead vocals, acoustic/electric guitars, bass,
drums/percussion, strings/orchestral material, and many other sources. The
WA-14 provides a realism and thickness that is true to the vintage microphone,
but now at an affordable price. All Brass Capsule The WA-12-B-60V is an all-
brass, edge-terminated capsule that captures all the smoothness, rich top end,
and warm vintage sonics of the original CK12 capsule. The WA-12-B-60V uses a
variant CEK-12 back plate as a basis, which overcomes manufacturing
limitations of the original CK12 capsule. The o-ring and housing of the
WA-12-B-60V are all made from brass (no teflon parts), and the diaphragm is
24k gold sputtered 6 micron, NOS PET film (mylar). The end result is a very
consistent, reliable capsule which matches the frequency response and tonality
of the classic 1970's classic capsule. Born Out Of Need When designing our
first microphone we knew that the single greatest challenge would be to offer
a capsule that was built to a high standard and priced in a range that every-
day musicians and engineers could afford. We already knew where to find great
microphone transformers, precision resistors, polystyrene, tantalum and WIMA
film capacitors; but we came to realize that a quality affordable microphone
capsule that met our specifications simply wasn’t out there. We knew we would
have to develop our own line of capsules. The WA (Warm Audio) brand of capsule
is the result of several years of research, a lifetime of listening, and a
passion for great sound. Above all else, Warm Audio capsules came from the
desire to give customers far more quality/value than what they are used to
getting in an affordable microphone. Every Warm Audio capsule is made in the
same small assembly house in a clean-room environment, and packaged in its own
protective jewel case until the moment it is loaded into the microphone. Every
capsule visually inspected and electrically tested for imperfections. Every
capsule is also made with all brass parts (no teflon or other cost saving
material), and is carefully skinned from the same supply of high purity NOS
Mylar (PET film). We are confident that you will be just as pleased with our
microphone capsules as we are to offer them, and that they will give you a
lifetime of great recordings and enjoyment.
