WA-67

Analog Warmth & Clarity
The WA-67 is a proper recreation of a microphone that famously captured the sound of numerous legendary vocal performances in the height of the analog-era and continues to be a coveted sound today. The WA-67 delivers rich vocal recordings with smooth top end, just like the original as heard on recordings by artists like The Beatles, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, Radiohead and many more.

The Perfect Balance Of Vintage Meets Modern
Having the same smooth and creamy tone of the original, the WA-67 excels at recording just about anything that you put in front of it. The original blends chewy midrange warmth associated with vintage tube mics with pristine top-end from the all-brass capsule. This recipe provides the unmistakable “vintage meets modern” tone found only in the most prized original mics of the early 1960s. While 67-style mics are best known for vocals, you may find that the WA-67 can become a fast favorite for rich acoustic guitar, warm guitar cabs, and intimate room tones.
