Warm Audio WA-CLASSIC

Warm Audio WA-CLASSIC

Large-diaphragm condenser microphone with switchable polar pattern.

This large-diaphragm condenser microphone design is probably the most widely used in popular music history. Instead of basing the WA-CLASSIC's circuitry on current incarnations of the legendary microphone, a conscious decision has been made to use early circuit designs dating back almost half a century.

The WA-CLASSIC therefore features a discrete circuit design with premium components such as Fairchild FETs, tantalum, polystyrene and WIMA film capacitors, and is complemented by a CineMag USA output transformer. The capsule is a proprietary design precisely modelled on the classic double-diaphragm capsule.

Reviving the warm sound of the classic microphone at an affordable price for a whole new generation of music makers was the goal for the WA-CLASSIC.
