The WA-14 is a '414-style condenser microphone based on the early 1970's microphone used on countless hit records. The WA14 has a custom all-brass CK12-style capsule, CineMag USA transformer, and a fully discrete signal path.  The Warm Audio WA14 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 at an affordable price!

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 backplate as a basis, overcoming 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.
