The Reference Condenser
The WA-14 is an authentic recreation of the ultra-rare “EB-circuit” 414-style microphone, the most truthful studio mic of all time. Ideal for capturing the natural sound of performances, the WA-14 delivers the same sonic performance of the original – a favorite of artists like The Police, Common, Freddie Mercury, and Billy Corgan.

True Character & Clarity
The WA-14 achieves the same sonic performance of its original “EB” inspiration, delivering clear mids, controlled bass, and accurate high-end emphasis for recordings that stay true to the original performance. For this reason, the WA-14 and the vintage original are celebrated as the ultimate “jack of all trades” mic.
