Warm Audio WA-CX24 Large-Diaphragm Multipattern Stereo Tube Condenser Microphone

Faithfully reproducing the nearly unobtainable AKG C24 down to the vintage-correct components, the Warm Audio WA-CX24 is a large-diaphragm stereo condenser microphone with two 180° rotatable capsules for precision stereo recording. With independent polar pattern selection on each smooth-sounding CK12-style capsule, the WA-CX24 is perfect for piano, drums, guitar, and more.

Each independently rotatable capsule provides polar pattern selection that includes cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8, and six additional mixed pattern options. The CK12-style capsules, derived from the WA-CX12 mic, offer tight bass, naturally rich midrange, and smooth highs, just like the original inspiration. This makes the WA-CX24 an excellent choice for stereo recording of many sound sources, including vocals.

The mic contains a wide range of premium, vintage-inspired components, including a warm 12AY7 tube, polystyrene and Wima film capacitors, custom edge-terminated, dual-backplate capsules milled from solid brass, and custom American-made T14 TAB-Funkenwerk output transformers. The max SPL of 149 dB provides flexibility to handle loud sound sources. The WA-CX24 includes a wooden box, a tweed flight case, a shockmount, an external power supply, an IEC power cable, and a 9-pin Gotham Swiss XLR cable for maximum signal integrity.
