Warm Audio WA-CX12

The Warm Audio WACX12 Tube Condenser Microphone faithfully recreates the classic sound of a C12-style microphone utilising the same circuit design and top-class components to deliver its iconic sound. The original mic the WACX12 is based on was renowned for its natural yet rich sound; capturing every nuance of complex performances from vocals to the grand piano. Equipped with a CX12 all-brass capsule and a 12AY7 vacuum tube the microphone delivers a flat response up until around 2kHz with a rich and airy top-end adding that classic warmth associated with vintage mics. The WACX12 provides you with the choice of nine polar patterns including standard cardioid omni and figure-8 patterns and as well as six intermediate pattern styles. Finishing the circuit is a specialised TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA output transformer which helps to provide the wide open sound the microphone provides. Great for recording vocals piano pieces and general room micing; the Warm Audio WACX12 is the perfect choice
