The Warm Audio WA-19 Microphone delivers a unique combination of dynamic mic functionality and condenser-like clarity, faithfully recreating one of the most favored studio & live dynamic mics of the 1960s.
Bringing back one of the most favored studio & live dynamic mics of the 1960s, 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.
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.

Fantastic
Sep 25th 2026I was able to nab one of the B-Stock models, but figured I'd leave my review here since it looks like those are both out of stock and no longer being offered. Not much of anything I can see wrong with it, and it sounds crazy. I'm in an untreated 10x10x9 room, just about the worst thing imaginable, and you just kind of... can't hear the room. The rejection is awesome. Put it about 6-8 inches off the neck/body join area on a dreadnought and a martin 000-17sm and the sound is just wonderful. In this room with nightmare standing waves, it sounds clean across the spectrum and the bass sounds huge and tight. I recorded a video and it feels fake because you see these untreated bare walls but you can't hear them. Also sounds particularly good on my voice. The filter ring changes the tone entirely. I find it cutting up to about 300 Hz, and making the mids around 1-2k much more prominent.I see this as more of a feature than a bug. It sounds great on my voice like this, and sounds great on guitars with the filter off. It's like two very different voices in one mic. Highly recommend.
