 WA-14SP  WARM AUDIO 

 Large Diaphragm Stereo Condenser Microphone Pair 

The WA-14SP is a sequential stereo set of the WA-14 mic, an authentic recreation of the ultra-rare unattainable “EB-circuit” 414-style microphone, the most truthful studio mic of all time. Ideal for capturing the natural sound of performances with minimal coloration, the WA-14 delivers the same sonic performance of its original “EB” inspiration. The WA-14SP provides a stereo pair of WA-14 mics loaded with an all-brass, CK-12 style capsule, variable pad, and three polar patterns, and unlike modern iterations, the WA-14 mics are transformer-balanced for rich analog sound reproduction. The WA-14SP achieves present pianos, punchy guitars, clear overheads, and a natural stereo image, just like the original mic used by The Police, Common, Freddie Mercury, Billy Corgan and countless others.

Accurate & Versatile: The WA-14SP is a stereo set of the WA-14 mic, an authentic recreation of the ultra-rare unattainable “EB-circuit” 414-style microphone, the most truthful studio mic of all time. Ideal for capturing the natural sound of performances with minimal coloration, the WA-14 delivers the same sonic performance of the original “EB” circuit. Balanced Tone, Exciting Mids: The WA-14 delivers clear mids, controlled bass, and accurate high-end emphasis for recordings that stay true to the original performance in the room. The WA-14SP achieves natural pianos, stereo guitars, and clear overheads, all with a natural stereo image.

Features:

• Accurate Stereo Recordings: WA-14SP stereo pairs ship as sequential serial pairs and are tested to be sure that they are within +/- 1dB of each other, delivering consistent performance for stereo recording applications.

• Custom, Solid Brass CK12-Style Capsule: WA-14 mics use an edge-terminated, dual-diaphragm capsule that is custom machined out of solid brass and meticulously spec'd to match the detail and warmth ofthe original. Unlike later nylon iterations of this capsule, the WA-14 faithfully replicates the clear open top end of the original all-brass CK12 capsule.

• Custom CineMag USA Output Transformer: Featuring a critical component of the original “EB-style” mics not found on current reissues, the WA-14 is built with a custom Cinemag transformer to bring out the full richness and detailed sound reproduction of the CK12-style capsule.

• Pro Recording Features: Each WA-14 mic has three polar patterns (cardioid, figure-8, & omnidirectional) to meet the needs of a variety of recording situations. The variable pad (0db, -10dB) allows the WA-14 to manage variable SPLs and properly balance signal-to-noise for better raw recordings.
