Warm Audio WA-251

Sound of legend

The WA-251 was designed to bring a classic microphone design to a new generation of recording artists at an affordable price. A lot of time was spent listening to various vintage original microphones to determine what people liked about them and why. They found out how different types of components affect the sound and how to give the WA-251 microphone a signature that pays homage to the vintage classic, but also stands on its own.
