Their acclaimed compressors and preamplifiers have turned the price/performance ratio of pro audio on its head. When Warm Audio started focusing on microphones, they set high goals: an iconic large-diaphragm FET condenser microphone. Behold the WA-14. It's based on a studio classic. Flash back to any top recording facility in the late 1970s. You see its venerable precursor everywhere. On pianos, acoustic guitars, overheads, vocals, brass, percussion - you name it. Engineers who have worked with this perennial studio favorite know that the all-brass, edge-terminated CK12 dual-backplate/dual-membrane capsule is a key ingredient in this microphone's legendary sound. Warm Audio followed this timeless design closely when they designed their own LK-12-B-60V Lens Condenser for the WA-14. Outstanding performance, top-quality components and a great price: that's the Warm formula - and the WA-14 does it again. [

What can the WA-14 do for you?
Every studio needs at least one pair of high-quality large-diaphragm condenser microphones, 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 shine. It makes pianos sit beautifully in tune. It's a must for acoustic guitars. It's also ideal for vibraphone, marimba, strings and woodwinds. The three polar patterns - cardioid, omni and figure-8 - further enhance the WA-14's impressive versatility, allowing you to experiment with stereo recording techniques such as Spaced Pair (A/B), X-Y (including Blumlein), ORTF array and Mid-Side (MS). You can't go wrong with this microphone.
Quality components make the difference with Warm
Warm Audio doesn't skimp on components, but rather orders parts and builds in bulk, keeping costs low and value astounding. The WA-14 is built with premium components such as the LK-12-B-60V Lens Capacitor (a high-quality reproduction of the coveted vintage CK12 capsule) and a true American Cinemag output transformer. It has a completely discrete signal path with tantalum, polystyrene and WIMA capacitors. High-quality components and meticulous design make for a superior sounding microphone - one that doesn't cost a fortune. Give the WA-14 an audition in your studio: you'll hear what we're talking about
