NEW and WARM! Warm Audio 2019 novelties

The short silence on air is explained by a business trip to the city of Anaheim.

No, WarmAudio.com.ua did not promote the devices in Disneyland.

In this cozy, warm Californian town, a wonderful event takes place annually, where we are happy to meet with the leaders of famous brands, have the fortune to talk to them, ask questions, and shake their brilliant hand (after which one feels pathetic about washing it for a long time)).

After visiting my favorite NAMM 2019 exhibition, I was speechless with joy, but now I have recovered and am ready to broadcast. This is a joke, but there is not a drop of fiction in it.

Having missed them over the year, we were glad to see the "founding fathers" of WarmAudio. Bryce Young willingly answered all the questions that interested us and our clients, to which I will dedicate a separate article. A special meeting of executives with dealers was warm, delicious, relaxed, and useful. USEFUL indeed, as WA presented several new microphones. Some of them are already on sale, and some are expected in the spring of 2019.

By the way, you can already make a PRE-ORDER.

Now we will talk about those very fresh and interesting NOVELTIES.

So, already in February, the following went on sale WA-251.

This is a new-generation tube condenser microphone, implemented in a classic design, high-quality, and at the same time accessible to people in the recording world.

After all, the hallmark and motto of this brand is the idea: "Serious Gear. Seriously Affordable» - «SERIOUS EQUIPMENT. SERIOUSLY AFFORDABLE»

Personally, I seriously like their slogan, seriously, no jokes! =)

WA-251

In the production of the WA-251, a classic '251 was taken as a basis, which participated in the creation of hits over the last 50 years. The Warm team seriously researched the question of what exactly in the '251 influences the sound character and how to give Warm Audio WA-251 that classic vintage feel, and besides this – to emphasize its individuality. The result turned out to be chic and is now proudly presented all over the world.

This microphone is designed for professional studios, home studios, and live performances;

In WA-251 vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, bass guitars, drums, strings, piano, wind instruments, and a host of other sound sources sound excellent.

But the techies will say: "enough poetry! What are the specifications?". I dare not torture your soul any longer.

WA-251 comes with a large diaphragm and a balanced transformer;

Versatility in recording (from any musical instruments to voice) - thanks to · three polar patterns: cardioid, figure-eight, omnidirectional;
