The Warm Audio WA-14: Authentic Vintage Sound at an Accessible Price

A Tribute to the Most Truthful Studio Mic

The Warm Audio WA-14 is a faithful recreation of the iconic 1970s large-diaphragm condenser microphone that shaped countless hit records. Built with an all-brass CK12-style capsule, a custom CineMag USA transformer, and a fully discrete signal path, the WA-14 delivers the rich warmth, realism, and vintage sonic character of the original at an affordable price. Perfect for vocals, acoustic instruments, drums, strings, and more, the WA-14 captures every detail with unmatched accuracy.

All-Brass CK12-Style Capsule for Vintage Sonic Character

At the heart of the WA-14 is the WA-12-B-60V edge-terminated all-brass capsule. This custom-designed capsule replicates the smooth top end, warmth, and dynamic precision of the original CK12 capsule. Made with 24k gold-sputtered 6-micron NOS PET film and brass housing, the WA-12-B-60V delivers consistency and reliability for a lifetime of great recordings.

Versatile for Every Application

The WA-14 offers three polar patterns-cardioid, figure-eight, and omnidirectional-making it a versatile choice for any recording scenario. Whether capturing intimate lead vocals, vibrant acoustic guitars, or detailed orchestral arrangements, this microphone provides a wide array of tonal possibilities. The variable pad options (-0dB, -10dB, -20dB) make it ideal for handling loud sources like drums and electric guitars.

Built with Precision and Care

Every component of the WA-14 is chosen for its quality and performance. The custom CineMag USA transformer ensures smooth, natural sound with excellent fidelity. The capsule is crafted in a clean-room environment, individually tested, and visually inspected to meet the highest standards. With its robust design and premium materials, the WA-14 is built to provide consistent performance for years.

Ideal for Home and Professional Studios

Designed for musicians, engineers, and producers, the WA-14 combines vintage tone with modern reliability. It's an excellent choice for home studios looking to elevate their recordings or professional setups seeking a high-quality vintage-style mic at an accessible price point.
