The Warm Audio WA-14CL large-diaphragm condenser microphone brings the coveted sound of a rare vintage mic to your studio. With a handcrafted CK12-style capsule and transformer-balanced output, this mic authentically captures the detail and warmth that made the original a legend. Whether you're recording vocals, acoustic guitars, drum overheads or any other critical source, the WA-14CL helps you achieve a classic sound with modern convenience.

Custom Capsule Recreates Sonic Magic

At the heart of the WA-14CL is a handcrafted brass capsule meticulously tuned to match the frequency response of the rare CK12 capsule found in vintage mics. This gives you lush highs, detailed mids and controlled lows that bring performances to life. The WA-14CL's capsule is the key to its ability to convey subtlety and nuance, allowing you to capture the expressiveness of any singer or the resonance of an acoustic instrument.

Transformer Provides Musicality

A custom transformer from CineMag USA balances the output of the WA-14CL, imparting it with a sense of depth and dimension. Transformers subtly shape the frequency response, enhancing lows and highs to create a rich, musical tone. The WA-14CL remains a transparent condenser mic, but its transformer gives it an unmistakably vintage vibe that sounds equally stunning on modern digital or analog recording gear.

Reliable Performance for Any Application

With its solid brass build and hand-selected components, the WA-14CL is a mic you can depend on. It offers three polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional and figure-8—so you can tailor its pickup coverage to best suit each recording needs. A -10dB and -20dB pad provide SPL handling for close-miking loud sound sources. No matter what you place in front of it, the WA-14CL delivers consistent, high-quality results take after take.

Experience the coveted sound of a hard-to-find classic mic with the Warm Audio WA-14CL. Built to vintage-correct specs, it brings musicality, detail and tonal richness to any studio. For recordings that capture the soul of a performance, the WA-14CL lets you achieve a timeless sound with modern-day reliability.
