Key Features
Reviving A Favored Studio Dynamic: The WA-19 delivers a unique combination of dynamic mic functionality and condenser-like clarity, faithfully recreating one of the most favored studio & live dynamics of the 1960s.
Dynamic Capabilities, Condenser-Like Character: The WA-19 features a custom, hand-assembled dynamic cardioid humbucking capsule that blends the critical noise rejection & reduced proximity effect of a dynamic but with more clarity and airy top end for richer detail than most studio dynamics.
Control The Boom & Bass: The WA-19 includes a variable acoustic high-pass filter ring that cuts up to 10dB at 50 Hz, ideal for tightening up the tone and adding upper-midrange emphasis without any electronic phase shift often incurred from preamp high-pass filters. Additionally, ventilated slots on the side of the WA-19 body reduce proximity effect, eliminating boomy bass associated with placing the mic closer to louder sources.
Great Sound With Any Placement: The thin pencil-style body design of the WA-19 allows for easy mic placement in crowded studio or live performance situations where mics are on top of each other - like recording acoustic guitar and vocals simultaneously, tracking a whole band, or miking a full drum kit. WA-19 has a dynamic humbucking coil that helps the mic deliver elite off-axis rejection, especially in the bass/lower midrange with minimal noise, making it easy to grab tight snare bottom tones without aggressive kick drum bleed.
Hand-Tested In Austin, TX: Like all Warm Audio gear, every single WA-19 is meticulously hand-tested and inspected by trained technicians with a passion for making music in Austin, TX USA.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- The Warm Audio WA-19B delivers a unique combination of dynamic mic functionality with condenser-like clarity, faithfully recreating a favored studio dynamic.
- Its custom, hand-assembled dynamic cardioid humbucking capsule provides critical noise rejection and reduced proximity effect, while offering detailed high-frequency response.
- A variable acoustic high-pass filter ring cuts up to 10dB at 50 Hz, effectively tightening tone and adding upper-midrange emphasis without electronic phase shift.
- Ventilated slots on the mic body are specifically designed to reduce proximity effect, eliminating boomy bass when placed close to sources.
- The thin pencil-style body design allows for easy and flexible microphone placement, even in crowded recording or live performance setups.
👎 Cons
- While offering condenser-like clarity, it is still a dynamic microphone and may not fully replicate the extensive frequency response of dedicated studio condensers.
- The variable acoustic high-pass filter is useful, but a fixed 10dB cut at 50 Hz might not be perfectly suited for all low-end control needs.
- The "pencil-style" body, while compact, might require specific shock mounts or stands not typically used with larger studio dynamics.
- The humbucking coil, while aiding in off-axis rejection, might still allow some bleed from extremely loud, close-proximity sources in complex recording scenarios.
- Its specialized recreation of a vintage dynamic mic means its sonic character might not appeal to users seeking a more modern, transparent sound.
