Warm Audio WA14 - large diaphragm condenser microphone with CK12-style capsule

The Warm Audio WA-14 is a large diaphragm, multi pattern condenser microphone based on the 1970s classic. True to the original the WA14 features a custom all-brass CK12 capsule, and CineMag USA transformer providing a 'realism and thickness' that is true to the vintage microphone.

All Brass Capsule

The WA-12-B-60V is an all-brass, edge-terminated capsule that captures all the smoothness, rich top end, and warm vintage sonics of the original CK12 capsule. The WA-12-B-60V uses a variant CEK-12 back plate as a basis, which overcomes manufacturing limitations of the original CK12 capsule. The o-ring and housing of the WA-12-B-60V are all made from brass (no teflon parts), and the diaphragm is 24k gold sputtered 6 micron, NOS PET film (mylar). The end result is a very consistent, reliable capsule which matches the frequency response and tonality of the classic 1970's classic capsule.
