Warm AudioWA-19 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone - Nickel
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
WA-19 is a dynamic cardioid microphone built around a hand-assembled humbucking capsule. Its narrow body is useful when a crowded studio setup leaves little room around an acoustic guitar, vocal position, drum kit, or snare bottom. Low-end control comes from both the ventilated body slots and a variable acoustic high-pass filter that can cut up to 10 dB at 50 Hz, so you can reduce boom and bring more attention to the upper mids.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Crowded studio placements around acoustic guitar, vocals, a full drum kit, or the underside of a snare.
- Recording situations where reduced proximity effect and off-axis noise rejection are useful.
- Shaping excess low end with the microphone’s variable acoustic high-pass filter.
