Bringing Back the Most Unattainable Vintage Stereo Mic
The WA-CX24 is a faithful recreation of the most iconic stereo tube condenser mic ever made. Designed to capture the rich, three-dimensional sound behind countless classic recordings, it delivers the same wide stereo image and natural warmth that made the original a studio staple. With dual large-diaphragm capsules and true tube circuitry, the WA-CX24 reproduces the smooth detail that made it a favorite on orchestras, pianos, and drum overheads. Famous for sessions with artists and engineers like Elvis Costello and Steve Albini, the original’s sound profile & iconic multi-pattern stereo functionality is accurately preserved with the WA-CX24.
True Stereo Sound, No-Compromise Components
In addition to the original sound profile, WA-CX24 recreates the critical dual 180-degree rotating capsules for exceptional flexibility to achieve precise stereo imaging in audio recordings. Independently adjusting the position of each capsule allows for error-proof stereo pickup patterns for various recording techniques, such as XY, Blumlein, mid-side, or a custom angle tailored to the sound source and recording environment. Built around dual all-brass CK12-style capsules & two TAB Funkenwerk (AMI) US-made output transformers, the WA-CX24 delivers professional stereo recordings with phase-coherent vocals, intricate piano performances, and epic stereo room sounds.
