The WA-14 is an authentic recreation of the ultra-rare "EB-circuit" 414-style microphone, the most truthful studio mic of all time. Ideal for capturing the natural sound of performances, the WA-14 delivers the same sonic performance of the original - a favorite of artists like The Police, Common, Freddie Mercury, and Billy Corgan.

Stereo Pair Package:

Features include:

True Character & Clarity
The WA-14 achieves the same sonic performance of its original "EB" inspiration, delivering clear mids, controlled bass, and accurate high-end emphasis for recordings that stay true to the original performance. For this reason, the WA-14 and the vintage original are celebrated as the ultimate "jack of all trades" mic.

Applications:

• Guitar Cabs: Punchy, Clear Stereo Guitar Cabs With Midrange Presence
• Piano: Present Piano Tones With Clear Mids And Balance
• Acoustic Guitar: Intimate, Balanced and “Woody” Guitar Tones
• Stereo Recording: Stereo Placement With Paired Mics Create Natural Recordings

Like the original EB 414-style mic, the WA-14 includes all the features that deliver a complete and professional recording experience.

• Three polar patterns (cardioid, omni, and figure-8) give you a variety of options to choose how you want to capture sound and reject noise.
• Unlike nylon iterations of this capsule, the brass CK12-style capsule in the WA-14 delivers the vintage performance of the original pairing natural midrange with smooth top-end.
• The -10 / -20 dB pad provides more headroom to record loud sources with the impressive detail of a large diaphragm condenser.
• The optional WA-14 SP Package comes with a stereo mounting bar for easy recording setup and an ultra-durable flight case for storage and travel. Each WA-14 mic is a matched sequential pair: Within +/- 1dB of each other.

Components:

CK-12 Style Capsule
The WA-14 uses a custom all-brass, edge-terminated capsule that captures all the smoothness, rich top end, and warm vintage sonics of the original CK12 capsule. The WA-14 uses a variant CEK-12 back plate as a basis, which overcomes manufacturing limitations of the original CK12 capsule. Unlike later nylon iterations, the o-ring and housing of the capsule are all made from brass (no teflon parts), and the diaphragm is 24k gold sputtered 6-micron, NOS PET film (mylar). The end result is a very consistent, reliable capsule which matches the frequency response and tonality of the classic 1970's 414 "EB" classic capsule.

Fully Discrete Signal Path
The WA-14 uses a completely discrete signal path alongside its premium capsule and transformer for an undeniably analog sound & vibe.

CineMag USA-Made Output Transformer
The WA-14 utilizes an American-made CineMag USA transformer. CineMag has a rich history of manufacturing some of the most sought-after American-made transformers. CineMag products date all the way back to World War II (as Reichenbach Engineering) and were pivotal in creating some of the most legendary audio products in the last 100 years. This transformer helps provide the full, truthful tone that one would hope to get from a 414-style "EB" condenser microphone.
