Warm Audio WA-14SP Stereo Pair Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

The Warm Audio WA-14SP is a professionally matched stereo pair of WA-14 condenser microphones, faithfully recreating the revered “EB-circuit” 414-style microphone known for its truthful sound reproduction and exceptional studio versatility. Designed for capturing performances with minimal coloration, the WA-14SP delivers the same natural sonic character and balanced response that made the original a legendary choice in professional studios. Ideal for stereo recording applications, this matched pair excels on pianos, stereo acoustic guitars, drum overheads, room miking, and ensemble recordings where detailed imaging and tonal consistency are critical.

Each microphone in the WA-14SP set features a custom solid brass CK12-style dual-diaphragm capsule and a custom CineMag USA output transformer, combining to produce rich analog warmth, balanced mids, controlled bass, and articulate high-end clarity. Faithfully modeled after the original all-brass CK12 design, the capsule captures open top-end detail and warmth with outstanding precision, while the transformer-balanced circuitry adds depth and richness not found in many modern alternatives. Sequentially paired and tested to match within ±1 dB of each other, the WA-14SP ensures highly accurate stereo imaging and dependable consistency for critical stereo recording applications.

Engineered for professional flexibility, each WA-14 microphone includes three selectable polar patterns-cardioid, figure-8, and omnidirectional0along with a variable pad offering 0 dB, -10 dB, and -20 dB attenuation for handling a wide range of sound pressure levels and recording scenarios. The package includes two WA-14 microphones, two shock mounts, two hard clips, two pleather zipper pouches, a stereo mounting bar, and a protective flight case for convenient transport and storage. Hand-tested in Austin, Texas, the Warm Audio WA-14SP delivers premium craftsmanship, vintage-inspired tone, and stereo precision for engineers and musicians who demand authentic analog performance.
