Known for capturing tight bass, naturally rich midrange, and smooth highs, the sound profile of the WA-CX24 is ideal for stereo vocals, pianos, acoustic guitars, drums, and many more stereo recording applications. Inside the WA-CX24, premium components including all-brass CK12-style capsules and TAB-Funkenwerk USA output transformers to deliver the lauded sound profile of the original.

The Unobtainable, Recreated With Premium Components & Ultimate Versatility
The WA-CX24 faithfully recreates one of the most iconic vintage stereo large-diaphragm condenser microphones ever produced. WA-CX24 delivers critical vintage-correct features allowing for multiple pickup patterns and varying stereo widths to support stereo recording configurations even the most imaginative of engineers and artists will be excited by.

Smooth Highs and Vibrant Midrange
The WA-CX24 captures organic and natural sounding tone with pleasing high end and colorful midrange so you feel the performance come through. Open "live" drums, wide stereo acoustic guitars, and spacious pianos with natural mids and smooth high end.

Full, 180-Degree Capsule Rotation
Rotating the capsules of the WA-CX24 provides exceptional flexibility for achieving precise stereo imaging in audio recordings. By independently adjusting the position of each capsule, you can tweak the stereo pickup pattern for various recording techniques< such as XY, Blumlein, mid-side, or a custom angle tailored to the sound source and recording environment.

Independently Assignable Polar-Pattern Switching
Mixing polar patterns on the two capsules on the WA-CX24 unlocks, even more versatility and creative control in recording. By combining different patterns, such as cardioid on one capsule and figure-8 on the other, you can craft a unique stereo image and tailor the mic's response to the recording environment.

No-Compromise Components
