WARM AUDIO - WA-67 TUBE CONDENSER MICROPHONE

Proper Recreation That Captures The Sound Of Legendary, Analog-Era Vocals

Analog Warmth & Clarity

The WA-67 is a proper recreation of a microphone that famously captured the sound of numerous legendary vocal performances in the height of the analog-era and continues to be a coveted sound today. The WA-67 delivers rich vocal recordings with smooth top end, just like the original as heard on recordings by artists like The Beatles, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, Radiohead and many more.

The Perfect Balance Of Vintage Meets Modern

Having the same smooth and creamy tone of the original, the WA-67 excels at recording just about anything that you put in front of it. The original blends chewy midrange warmth associated with vintage tube mics with pristine top-end from the all-brass capsule. This recipe provides the unmistakable “vintage meets modern” tone found only in the most prized original mics of the early 1960s. While 67-style mics are best known for vocals, you may find that the WA-67 can become a fast favorite for rich acoustic guitar, warm guitar cabs, and intimate room tones.

The all-brass K67-style capsule provides the performance of the original by adding top-end brilliance without sacrificing warmth in the lower mids and presence in the upper-mids. This mic was made to stand out!

Three polar patterns (cardioid, omni, and figure-8) give you a variety of options to choose how you want to capture stereo sounds and reject noise.

The -10 pad provides more headroom to record loud sources with the impressive detail of a large-diaphragm condenser.

The switchable 80 Hz high pass filter makes it easy to remove unruly bass noise from sources before you even hit record.
