Faithfully Recreating One of the Most Favoured Studio & Live Dynamic Mics 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.
Bringing back one of the most favoured studio & live dynamic mics of the 1960s,the AKG D19, the WA-19 blends the critical off-axis rejection, reduced proximity effect, and rugged metal construction of a dynamic with added clarity and richer detail similar to studio-worthy condenser tones. The acoustic high-pass filter ring can cut up to 10dB at 50Hz to remove unwanted low frequencies, making the WA-19 ideal for capturing enhanced detail of cymbals/overheads, acoustic guitar, studio & live vocals, snare bottom, guitar cabs and more. Reviving the original tone & capabilities, the WA-19 delivers the ideal balance between dynamic functionality and condenser-like character for a dynamic studio mic that you’ll want to try on almost anything in the studio or live.
A Bold Transducer & Critical Audio Features
To deliver the sound profile of the lauded original, the WA-19 features a custom, hand-assembled dynamic
cardioid humbucking capsule that blends the critical noise rejection of a dynamic microphone with the
top-end clarity of a condenser. 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
and make editing a breeze as there are less unwanted bass frequencies competing in the mix.
This combination of features on the WA-19 solve critical recording and live performance challenges.
For all of the vintage style and substance, the WA-19 is built with a rugged metal design and features modern
quality upgrades, making the microphone more durable and ready for the challenges of everyday studio and live use.
Rethink The Role Of Dynamic Mics In The Studio
Unlike the “standard” dynamic mics of today, the WA-19 delivers top-end clarity similar to a condenser microphone,
with a frequency response (30Hz–18Khz) that emphasizes upper-mids and rolls off the harshest highs.
The tuned transducer sounds great as a snare bottom mic, rejecting all of the boom and noise of the kick drum.
As an acoustic guitar mic, the WA-19 is able to capture the “shimmer” and detail in the upper-mids and highs without
sacrificing rich woody tone. 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. The 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.

Side Ventilation To Manage Boomy Bass
Vents located down the side of the WA-19 help reduce proximity effect, ensuring troublesome bass due to close micing of loud sources is removed.
This makes editing a breeze as there are less unwanted bass frequencies competing in the mix.
50Hz Acoustic High-Pass Filter
The WA-19 comes equipped with a versatile acoustic high-pass filter ring capable of reducing up to 10dB at 50 Hz.
The filter itself modifies the space behind the transducer in the WA-19 to remove unwanted sub bass.
This feature is perfect for refining the tone, emphasizing the upper midrange, and avoiding the typical electronic phase shift associated with preamp high-pass filters.
Custom Dynamic Capsule
The WA-19 showcases a uniquely crafted brass dynamic cardioid humbucking capsule, meticulously assembled by hand.
This capsule combines the essential noise rejection of a dynamic microphone, while also delivering heightened clarity and a vibrant top-end for enhanced detail,
surpassing many studio dynamic microphones.
Authentic Appearance & Elite Build Quality
The WA-19 has an overbuilt dynamic transducer well beyond typical, modern spec.
The ultra-durable metal casing keeps the mic safe on the sides, and the dual-layered headbasket protects the capsule from daily wear and tear.
Every single WA-19 is meticulously hand-inspected at Warm HQ in Austin,TX by real musicians and engineers with a passion for superior sound.
