Warm Audio WA14SP Stereo Pair Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
Description
The WA-14SP is a sequential stereo set of the WA-14 mic, an authentic recreation of the ultra-rare unattainable “EB-circuit” 414-style microphone, the most truthful studio mic of all time. Ideal for capturing the natural sound of performances with minimal coloration, the WA-14 delivers the same sonic performance of its original “EB” inspiration. The WA-14SP provides a stereo pair of WA-14 mics loaded with an all-brass, CK-12 style capsule, variable pad, and three polar patterns, and unlike modern iterations, the WA-14 mics are transformer-balanced for rich analog sound reproduction. The WA-14SP achieves present pianos, punchy guitars, clear overheads, and a natural stereo image, just like the original mic used by The Police, Common, Freddie Mercury, Billy Corgan and countless others.
