Warm Audio WA-19B Studio & Live Dynamic Microphone – Black

Bringing back one of the most favored studio & live dynamic mics of the 1960s, the WA-19 blends the critical off-axis rejection, reduced proximity effect, and rugged metal construction of a dynamic with added clarity and richer detail similar to studio-worthy condenser tones. The acoustic high-pass filter ring can cut up to 10dB at 50Hz to remove unwanted low frequencies, making the WA-19 ideal for capturing enhanced detail of cymbals/overheads, acoustic guitar, studio & live vocals, snare bottom, guitar cabs and more. Reviving the original tone & capabilities, the WA-19 delivers the ideal balance between dynamic functionality and condenser-like character for a dynamic studio mic that youll want to try on almost anything in the studio or live.

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.

Control The Boom & Bass: 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. 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.

Great Sound With Any Placement: 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. WA-19 has a dynamic humbucking coil that 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.
