Faithful Recreation Of The Most Natural And Balanced Tube Microphone Of All Time

Coveted & Rare. Until Now.

The WA-CX12 is a faithful recreation of the most natural and balanced tube mic of all time. The WA-CX12 cuts no corners in achieving a highly accurate sound profile of the original, known for its organic tones and elevated room sounds. Some of the most notable artists to create music with the original include The Beatles, Lupe Fiasco, Tom Petty, Michael Jackson, Alanis Morissette, and Taylor Swift, just to name a few.

True Sound, No-Compromise Components

The WA-CX12 sound profile is known for capturing the real sound of a performance. Designed to provide clarity in the midrange and smooth out any high end harshness, the WA-CX12 delivers professional solo vocals, intricate piano performances, and epic, natural room sounds. Like the original, the WA-CX12 tone is mostly flat until a slight dip at 2kHz with a gradual boost between 5-10kHz.

Key Features

Like the original C12-style mic, the WA-CX12 includes all the features that deliver a complete and professional recording experience.

Unlike later nylon iterations of this capsule, the WA-CX12 faithfully replicates the clear open top end of the original all-brass CK12 capsule.

The WA-CX12 uses a premium 12AY7 vacuum tube to complement the CK12-style capsule for added warmth and clarity without harsh high end.

The custom USA-made AMI  transformer drives the full natural sound captured by the capsule delivering that renowned Austrian sound.

The WA-CX12 has 9 polar patterns, providing ultimate flexibility and versatility in a variety of recording applications.

CK12-Style Capsule

The all-brass CK12-style capsule provides the performance of the vintage original, by smoothing out the top-end and delivering a pleasing, natural tone to the transformer. Unlike later nylon iterations of this capsule, the WA-CX12 faithfully replicates the clear open top end of the original all-brass CK12 capsule.

AMI USA-MADE Output Transformer

The history of TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) transformers goes all the way back to the founding of the most sought-after German analog audio innovations. The TAB (AMI) transformer in the WA-CX12 is American-made with large-core German laminations and built to exacting standards as designed by Oliver Archut. The custom transformer drives the full natural sound captured by the capsule delivering that renowned Austrian sound.

Premium Tubes, Capacitors, & Boards

The WA-CX12 uses a premium 12AY7 vacuum tube that adds warmth and depth to the microphone’s signal. Like all Warm Audio products, we use premium capacitors in the circuit for ideal signal transfer. The PCB board in the WA-CX12 does not have solder masks which allows for the lowest noise floor possible, preventing crosstalk from added capacitance.

Authentic Appearance, Elite Build Quality, Premium Accessories

The WA-CX12 is encased in an ultra-durable nickel-plated brass body. Every WA-CX12 comes with a custom tweed carrying case housing the mic, wood mic case, premium Gotham 7-pin cable, IEC cable, shockmount, and external power supply. Every WA-CX12 is meticulously hand-inspected at Warm HQ in Austin,TX by real musicians and engineers with a passion for superior sound.

Delightful and entertaining
Format: Kindle
314. The History of Tom Jones: a foundling by Henry Fielding (Novel-Audible/E Book-Fiction) 5* I read along with the Audible of the novel which I found a highly delightful and entertaining experience. The narrator, Bill Homewood, who performed the audio version of the work was excellent doing the various characters as well as the invisible narrator (author) of the story. The Synopsis is as follows: A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire—though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature. It is rather brilliant, and there is no lack of shenanigans as we follow Jones through his history and the reader never knows when and where the author will abruptly go off on a tangent, told in a most eloquent manner, end with a flourish and no doubt tossed his quill down and took a bow. I am either taken in by some farce or thoroughly enchanted by this author. As Fielding is rather the loquacious writer this read comes in Audible time at almost 38 hours or roughly 1,000 pages but worth every minute spent on it.

An epic nearly 300 years old
Tom Jones is the comical history of a young man who was adopted into a rich family and faces a brother who is against him all while they grow into maturity. It’s kind of like the first part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure except with Jonathan and Dio being reversed and with no vampires, but there is a moment where someone gets really scared while watching the ghost in hamlet so there’s at least some notion of the supernatural. Getting into it though, it’s an easy read despite it’s length encompassing 18 books, it’s honestly fascinating that it was able to be written so cleanly considering how many gaps there must of been between these books being written, it reads to us as a consistent narrative, but to imagine the wait and changing times that must have occurred during the duration to the story is really interesting to consider. The role and function of the narrator is probably the only real glimpse of this in narrative as he’s really just talking to us in the first chapter of every book, but the narrator being so clever and charming makes the only thing of interest be him and the relationship we form to him. It’s an incredible experience that I can recommend the entire story for alone. Getting to know the narrator is like talking to an old, reliable friend and it’s worth reading into nearly 300 years on.

Jone's Tome
This book seems more likely to be enjoyed by literary academics than by folks looking for a good story. While Henry Fielding is indeed a learned man of letters and does write in a fine and high style with many subordinate clauses, the actual substance thereof is no better than more earthy pedestrian fare. To put it plainly, I found most of the book a rather tedious slog. This is my personal subjective opinion only as I do believe Henry Fielding is well esteemed by serious literary scholars who undoubtedly see the matter quite differently. I am judging this book purely by my own personal enjoyment of the actual narrative and plot construction, and by my difficulty in teasing out the subordinate clauses which are so bound up with this age of writing. Imagine a very learned and erudite professor trying to tell you a common bawdy tale, but taking forever to do it while using the most stuffy language. I had thought that my deeper background in reading many Victorian era novels would qualify me to enjoy this one, but the language was a little too dense to make it an enjoyable read. I was however able to follow the story as well as the side epistles the author directly addresses the reader with (which I find to be an annoying device also much used in that era). I did read the whole thing and did take pleasure in some parts, but I must confess my bias towards this earlier era of novel writing. It takes very learned men of their age and has them writing long-winded tales of inferior construction when compared against later centuries. I know this is not their fault any more than you can blame a champion athlete of his time for having his record broken decades later when methods have universally improved.

Text is nearly 300 years old…!!! 😅😅😅
Read this publication alongside Cliff Notes. It’s a fun book, but the Latin poems and phrases can be intimidating. In addition, watch the movie. It’s an old text, so utilize resources to develop your understanding. 📚📖📙📘📗📕

The book itself is five stars!
This is a review of the Oxford Classic Kindle edition. The book itself is one of the greatest novels ever written; this is maybe the third time I've read it. Fielding is a master of irony, by which I mean genuine irony, not the mean sarcasm that often passes for irony these days. Fielding is never mean-spirited. His irony is generous and his humor is benevolent. His characters are three-dimensional, never all good or all bad. Before reading this, I had been re-reading several Dickens novels, and the contrast is enormous. A Dickens villain is a villain to the core, and his heroes (and especially his heroines) are saints. Tom instead is a young man with many faults, but a great heart. Sophia, his beloved, is a genuinely good person, but she's got a certain fiery spirit, and has her moments of doubt and remorse. I advise you to read every word of this novel. It's divided into books, and the first chapter of each book is an address to the reader, expounding Fielding's theories on literature and on human nature. An impatient reader might be tempted to skip these, but that would mean missing a lot of worthwhile and enjoyable reading. I have some quibbles with the Kindle edition. There were some mistakes in the passage from print to pixels, but they were not excessive. The biggest problem is that the excellent notes often have a reference to another note, with the page number, e.g., a note might be only "See note on page 85." As the book proceeds, more and more of the notes are references to earlier notes. However, there is never a link to these earlier notes, and when reading a Kindle, finding the note on page 85 is not an easy matter. Other than that, the Kindle edition is a pleasure to read.
