Balancing dynamic versatility with condenser-like sound qualities, the black WA-19 from Warm Audio is a dynamic studio microphone that recreates a classic mic from the '60s. With an exceptionally high max SPL of 145 dB and a variable high-pass filter with a 0 to 10 dB range, you can handle many sources, such as drums, piano, vocals, and guitar.

Just like the original, the WA-19 sports impressive clarity and richness in its sound character, lending the microphone well to many live and studio applications. The reduced proximity effect is especially useful with live vocals and studio instruments, allowing for a more accurate capture. The thin, pencil-style body makes the WA-19 easy to place in an optimal position without obstruction, while the rugged metal construction ensures the mic will survive tours or years of audio work within studios and live venues.

The WA-19 features a custom, hand-assembled dynamic cardioid humbucking capsule that blends the critical noise rejection of a dynamic, but with more clarity and airy top end for richer detail than most studio dynamics.

The WA-19 includes a variable acoustic high-pass filter ring that cuts up to 10 dB 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.

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—such as when 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.

Like all Warm Audio gear, every single WA-19 is meticulously hand-tested and inspected by trained technicians in Austin, TX USA.

Q: 6. Does push to talk mean the default is for the mic to be off and a user needs to hold the button down when talking? Or does it toggle on and off?

A: The Bogen DDU250 Desktop Dynamic Gooseneck Microphone has a programmable switch that can be set for either push-to-lock or push-to-talk operation. Push-to-talk is a momentary function that engages the mic only when the button is pressed and held. As soon as the button is released, the mic switches off. Push-to-lock allows the switch to be locked in the on position so the mic is active until the switch is pressed again to turn the mic off.
