Warm Audio WA-CX12

The Warm Audio WA-CX12 is a versatile tube condenser built around a CK12-style custom, solid brass capsule for a natural, balanced sound with a smooth top end and an engaging midrange. If you want one microphone that can handle a wide range of sources and still feel classy on the way in, this is the kind of all-around workhorse that earns a permanent spot on the stand.

With nine polar patterns, a premium 12AY7 tube, and a boutique Gotham 7-pin tube microphone cable feeding an external IEC-grounded power supply, the WA-CX12 is designed to be flexible without turning your sessions into a science project. From focused close-miking to open, ambient room capture, it adapts quickly while keeping the presentation consistent and musical.

As an authorized dealer, Pro Audio Reserve ensures you’re receiving a genuine Warm Audio microphone backed by full manufacturer warranty and long-term support.

CK12-Style Tone That Stays Natural

The WA-CX12 is built to capture presence in a way that feels open and believable, not hyped. The CK12-style custom, solid brass capsule helps deliver a balanced tone that works on vocals, acoustic instruments, and room capture without forcing you into heavy EQ moves just to make things sit.

If you like microphones that translate detail but still sound flattering, the Warm Audio WA-CX12 gives you a smooth top end and confident midrange that feels at home in modern productions while nodding to classic studio voicing.

9 Polar Patterns for Real Recording Setups

You get cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8, plus in-between options, which means you can dial in the pickup that fits the room and the source. Figure-8 is great for two voices on one mic. Cardioid helps you stay punchy and focused on drums and close sources. Omni can open up piano or room capture when you want the space to be part of the sound.

The flexibility is there when you need it, but the mic still keeps a consistent recording nature across settings, which makes it easier to move fast in sessions.

High Headroom, Clean Integration

With a max SPL of 149dB and a 30Hz–20kHz frequency response range, the WA-CX12 is ready for demanding sources. It is equally comfortable on loud instruments and more nuanced performances, giving you room to experiment with placement without feeling like you are walking on eggshells.

The included external IEC-grounded power supply, IEC power cable, and premium Gotham 5-meter 7-pin tube microphone cable keep the system stable and studio-friendly, so you can focus on recording instead of troubleshooting.

  • Tube condenser microphone built around a CK12-style custom, solid brass capsule
  • 9 polar patterns for flexible recording techniques and room control
  • Premium 12AY7 vacuum tube and custom TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA output transformer
  • High headroom with 149dB max SPL handling
  • 30Hz–20kHz frequency response for full-range capture
