Warm Audio WA-19 Dynamic Cardioid Studio Microphone

Warm Audio WA-19 Dynamic Cardioid Studio Microphone: Reimagined Classic Dynamic Microphone
The WA-19 is a dynamic microphone inspired by one of the most sought-after mics of the 1960s. It offers the essential qualities that made the original legendary: excellent off-axis rejection, reduced proximity effect for a clear sound, and a rugged build. Warm Audio takes it a step further, infusing the WA-19 with enhanced clarity and richer detail, approaching the quality of high-end condenser mics.

Unveiling the Details You Need
A variable high-pass filter allows you to eliminate unwanted low-end rumble down to 50Hz. This makes the WA-19 perfect for capturing the bright attack of cymbals, the nuanced body of acoustic guitars, and the crispness of vocals - both in the studio and on stage.

Dynamic Power, Condenser Character
The WA-19 bridges the gap between dynamic and condenser microphones. It retains the workhorse functionality of a dynamic mic while introducing a condenser-like character with extended high-frequency detail. This versatility makes it a must-have for any microphone locker, allowing you to tackle a wide range of instruments and sources with stunning results.
