An Esteemed ’60s Mic Revived
The Warm Audio WA-19 dynamic studio microphone aims to resurrect one of the most iconic mics of the 1960s. It features a 30Hz – 18Khz frequency response, 145dB max SPL, and superb off-axis rejection from its cardioid polar pattern. A built-in highpass filter is a very welcome addition: it can cut down to -10dB at 50Hz, making the WA-19 ideal for use on drum overheads, toms, vocals, snare bottom, guitar cabs, and more. The ventilated slots on the body of the WA-19 also reduce proximity effect, making it a great choice for acoustic guitar as well as guitar cabinets. Finally, the WA-19’s thin body shape facilitates easy placement, and while it may be thin, it’s built to last.Bringo the Ringo mic to your studio

Bringo the Ringo mic to your studio

The WA-19 is an exemplary clone of a classic mic known as “the Ringo mic” for its association with a certain drummer from Liverpool, though many other artists of the era certainly used it. Those aforementioned four lads often applied “the Ringo mic” as drum overheads. The Warm Audio WA-19 certainly shines in that application, but Sweetwater studio engineers that found the WA-19 is beautiful when your acoustic guitar is gently weeping: its ventilated body slots cut down on proximity effect, meaning you can really get close to the body of the guitar and get a great sound without being too boomy. Plus, the 50Hz highpass filter gives you an even clearer sound.

Place it, then let it be

The pencil-thin body of the WA-19 makes it easy to place in various studio and stage applications. And, no matter where you place it, the WA-19’s elite off-axis rejection, broad 30Hz – 18Khz frequency response, and high max SPL of 145dB all ensure that you can get a natural, focused sound on a huge number of sources.
