Warm Audio WA-14 Condenser Microphone

Designed to capture the warm, vintage acoustics of the original “EB-circuit” 414-style microphone, Warm Audio offers the WA-14 tube condenser microphone, with much greater accessibility. With universal application of studio, home or live use, the versatility of this mic lends itself to any situation without comprising on sound quality. Paying homage to its predecessor, the sonic character of this mic gives a natural sound and realism with the smooth high-end you’re looking for, at a value that cannot be beaten.

Custom Reproduction Gives Pristine Sound

The custom, all brass, large CK12-style capsule, is a reproduction of the vintage capsule to bring you that sumptuous, authentic 414 “EB” sonic character. This capsule also produces a wide frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz with a midrange presence and a bright high-end for an added depth. To further supply a rounded and smooth sound, is the CineMag transformer, made in the USA to exacting standards this transformer delivers a true analog sound with plenty of coloration. Having WIMA, Solen French and polystyrene capacitors throughout, the WA-14 gives a reliable and balanced tone.

Vintage Acoustics With Accessible Features

After extensive research, Warm Audio decide to use a Gotham Audio GAC-7 cable. Learning about how 7-pin cables can reduce phase shift and increase top-end presence, Gotham Audio seemed the logical choice to partner with for their high-end, Swiss-produced cabling to provide the best sonic choice for this condenser mic. There are three polar patterns: cardioid, omni, and figure-8 all provide a balanced frequency response for ultimate versatility. With a bright top end and a rich low end, the WA-14 is a compelling option for anyone looking for that classic 414 “EB” sound.
