INTRODUCTION
The WA-14 is an accurate recreation of the most truthful studio microphone of all time. The WA-14 Stereo Pair
includes two of these legendary mics and premium accessories designed to help you capture professional stereo
recordings. Like the original, the WA-14 delivers natural sound reproduction with a relatively flat response plus a
smooth top end. The WA-14 delivers the performance of a true studio workhorse repeatedly chosen by the most
discerning engineers for capturing an array of sources including punchy, warm, and honest lead vocals, clear stereo
guitar cabs, and natural stereo piano. The WA-14 provides realism, thickness, and detail that is true to the original
mic's sound profile - a critical tool of any world-class mic locker.
FEATURES
1.
Accurate & Versatile: The WA-14SP is a stereo set of the WA-14 mic, an authentic recreation of the ultra-rare
unattainable "EB-circuit" 414-style microphone, the most truthful studio mic of all time. Ideal for capturing the
natural sound of performances with minimal coloration, the WA-14 delivers the same sonic performance of the
original "EB" circuit.
2.
Balanced Tone, Exciting Mids: The WA-14 delivers clear mids, controlled bass, and accurate high-end
emphasis for recordings that stay true to the original performance in the room. The WA-14SP achieves natural
pianos, stereo guitars, and clear overheads, all with a natural stereo image.
3.
Accurate Stereo Recordings: WA-14SP stereo pairs ship as sequential pairs and are tested to be sure that
they are within +/- 1dB of each other, delivering consistent performance for stereo recording applications.
4.
Custom, Solid Brass CK12-Style Capsule: WA-14 mics use an edge-terminated, dual-diaphragm capsule
that is custom machined out of solid brass and meticulously spec'd to match the detail and warmth of the orig-
inal. Unlike later nylon iterations of this capsule, the WA-14 faithfully replicates the clear open top end of the
original all-brass CK12 capsule.
5.
Custom CineMag USA Output Transformer: Featuring a critical component of the original "EB-style" mics
not found on current reissues, the WA-14 is built with a custom Cinemag transformer to bring out the full richness
and detailed sound reproduction of the CK12-style capsule.
6.
Stereo Recording With The Mounting Bar: Using the straight mounting bar makes recording quality stereo
tracks with WA-14s virtually effortless. Aligning the two WA-14 in parallel with each other on the bar ensures
the two capsules will be equidistant to the source, preventing phase issues.
7.
Pro Recording Features: Each WA-14 mic has three polar patterns (cardioid, figure-8, & omnidirectional) to
meet the needs of a variety of recording situations. The variable pad (0dB, -10dB, -20dB) allows the WA-14 to
manage variable SPLs and properly balance signal-to-noise for better raw recordings.
8.
Package Contents: (2) WA-14 Mics, (2) Shock Mounts, (2) Hard Clips, (2) Pleather Zipper Pouches, Flight
Case, Stereo Mounting Bar.
9.

inspected by trained technicians with a passion for making music in Austin, TX USA.
