Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
WA-CX24 is a dual-capsule, large-diaphragm stereo tube condenser for recordings that need control over stereo configuration. Each capsule has independent pattern selection, and the rotating mechanism provides 180 degrees of movement for setting their angles. Nine patterns include cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8, and mixed options, supporting XY, Blumlein, mid-side, and custom approaches. Its design combines CK12-style all-brass capsules, a 12AY7 tube, and two TAB-Funkenwerk output transformers. The package includes the external power supply, shockmount, 5-meter 9-pin cable, wood box, and tweed flight case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Setting up XY, Blumlein, mid-side, or custom stereo microphone configurations.
- Capturing stereo vocals, acoustic guitars, pianos, or drum overheads.
