The WA-CX24 is loaded with two of the same CK12-style capsules used on our celebrated WA-CX12 microphone, machined out of solid brass and designed to reproduce sound with vintage-correct results. The middle of the mic houses a premium 12AY7 tube carefully selected to bring vintage warmth to the circuit without sacrificing smooth clarity in the top end. Rounding out the circuit, the WA-CX24 sports two premium, USA-made T14 transformers from TAB-Funkenwork (AMI) to deliver ultimate signal integrity to the 9-pin cable and out to the power supply.

The WA-CX24 is designed to capture the spaciousness and character of the coveted tube warmth and smooth top-end found in classic recordings. Engineers can independently assign one of the three traditional polar patterns (cardioid, omni, figure-8) or one of the six intermediate polar patterns, and rotate the capsule up to 180 degrees, unlocking traditional stereo configurations like XY, Blumlein, and mid-side, or inventing new ones altogether. This versatility allows for unrivaled stereo flexibility, whether tracking a full room, matched pair vocals, or ambient strings.

The WA-CX24 delivers tight bass, naturally rich midrange, and velvety smooth highs, making it an ideal choice for stereo vocals, grand piano, acoustic instruments, percussion, and more. Included with the WA-CX24 is a dual-pattern power supply, shockmount, Gotham GAC-9 9-pin cable, IEC power cable, custom wood display box, and a rugged tweed flight case for studio or mobile use.
