Know before you buy
Yes, because this is a tube condenser microphone, it includes a dedicated external power supply unit to provide the necessary voltage for the vacuum tube. You will need to connect the microphone to this power supply using the included multi-pin cable, and then connect the power supply to your preamp via a standard XLR cable.
The K67-style capsule is a faithful recreation of the vintage design found in legendary studio microphones. It is known for providing a smooth, detailed high-end response and a rich midrange, which helps vocals and acoustic instruments sit prominently in a mix.
Yes, the WA-67 is equipped with a -10dB pad, which allows it to handle higher sound pressure levels without distorting. This makes it a versatile choice for capturing louder sources alongside more delicate instruments like acoustic guitars or vocals.
The cardioid pattern is ideal for isolating a single sound source like a vocal; omnidirectional is perfect for capturing the natural ambiance of a room; and figure-8 is excellent for recording two singers at once or for specific stereo miking techniques.
Yes, the built-in high-pass filter is designed to roll off low-end frequencies, which is particularly useful for cleaning up the 'muddy' sound that can occur when a vocalist is very close to the microphone. It helps maintain clarity and prevents the low frequencies from overpowering your recording.
