WA-CX12
Tube Condenser Microphone
Faithful Recreation Of The Most Natural And Balanced Tube Microphone Of All Time
Coveted & Rare. Until Now.
The WA-CX12 is a faithful recreation of the most natural and balanced tube mic of all time. The WA-CX12 cuts no corners in achieving a highly accurate sound profile of the original, known for its organic tones and elevated room sounds. Some of the most notable artists to create music with the original include The Beatles, Lupe Fiasco, Tom Petty, Michael Jackson, Alanis Morissette, and Taylor Swift, just to name a few.
True Sound, No-Compromise Components
The WA-CX12 sound profile is known for capturing the real sound of a performance. Designed to provide clarity in the midrange and smooth out any high end harshness, the WA-CX12 delivers professional solo vocals, intricate piano performances, and epic, natural room sounds. Like the original, the WA-CX12 tone is mostly flat until a slight dip at 2kHz with a gradual boost between 5-10kHz.
Like the original C12-style mic, the WA-CX12 includes all the features that deliver a complete and professional recording experience.
Unlike later nylon iterations of this capsule, the WA-CX12 faithfully replicates the clear open top end of the original all-brass CK12 capsule.
The custom USA-made AMI transformer drives the full natural sound captured by the capsule delivering that renowned Austrian sound.
The WA-CX12 uses a premium 12AY7 vacuum tube to complement the CK12-style capsule for added warmth and clarity without harsh high end.
The WA-CX12 has 9 polar patterns, providing ultimate flexibility and versatility in a variety of recording applications.
