## Long description

The Warm Audio WA-CX12 is a professional large-diaphragm tube studio microphone designed to recreate the natural, open, and airy sound of classic 12-style tube microphones. With an extended frequency response from 30 Hz to 20 kHz, an output impedance of 200 Ω, and wired XLR connectivity, the WA-CX12 is engineered for detailed vocal, instrument, and room capture. The mic features a silver, nickel-plated brass body and a CK12-style edge-terminated capsule that produces a mostly flat midrange with a gently tuned presence between 5–10 kHz for smooth, intelligible highs.
Advantages
The WA-CX12 combines historically faithful circuit topology with premium modern components: a CK12-style capsule, a 12AY7 vacuum tube for added warmth, and a custom AMI/TAB output transformer to deliver a full, wide, and open sound. Its nine selectable polar patterns (cardioid, omni, figure-8, plus six intermediates) provide versatile placement and tonal options. Hand inspection and high-quality parts throughout the signal path result in low noise and consistent, reliable performance suitable for professional studios.
Suitable for
 Solo and ensemble vocals in studio recordings
 Grand piano stereo miking and acoustic piano capture
 Room ambience, overheads, and distant miking for drums and orchestral sources
 Electric and acoustic guitar cabinets and DI-blended room capture

How to use
Connect the WA-CX12 to a suitable microphone preamplifier using the supplied XLR cable and engage any required phantom or external power as specified by the microphone’s external supply. Select the desired polar pattern for the source and position the microphone according to the instrument or vocal characteristics: close for direct presence, or at distance for natural room capture. Adjust preamp gain conservatively to avoid clipping while retaining headroom for the tube-driven signal. Use the included shockmount and carrying case when transporting or mounting the microphone to protect the capsule and tube assembly.
Usage recommendations
For vocal work, start with a cardioid pattern and position the capsule 6–12 inches from the singer, slightly off-axis to reduce plosives. For piano or room ambience, experiment with stereo pair placements and wider polar patterns to capture balanced tone and natural reflections. Use a high-quality preamp with clean gain to benefit from the WA-CX12’s transformer and tube character. Allow the tube to warm up briefly for consistent tonal response before critical takes.
