Experience legendary studio sound with the Warm Audio WA-14SP Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone. Inspired by one of the most iconic FET condenser microphones of the 1970s, the WA-14 combines vintage tone with modern engineering to deliver exceptional performance across all recording applications. At its core is the custom LK-12-B-60V Lens Kondensator capsule, Warm Audio’s faithful recreation of the revered all-brass CK12 capsule known for its open, musical tone and detailed transients. Paired with a CineMag USA transformer and fully discrete signal path, the WA-14SP produces rich, balanced sound with unmistakable analog warmth. The microphone features three selectable polar patterns — cardioid, omni, and figure-8 — providing immense flexibility for vocals, instruments, or stereo configurations. A switchable -10dB and -20dB pad allows it to handle even the loudest sources like drum kits or brass ensembles without distortion. Ideal for professional studios, project setups, and live performance, the WA-14SP shines on vocals, acoustic guitars, pianos, and strings. Built with premium WIMA, tantalum, and polystyrene capacitors and tested at Warm Audio’s headquarters in Austin, Texas, this microphone ensures both stunning sound and long-term reliability. The Warm Audio WA-14SP is not just a microphone — it’s a bridge between the warmth of analog history and the precision of modern recording.
