Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The WA-19N is a really interesting little mic – a surprisingly capable dynamic small diaphragm. It’s a great option for vocal tracking, especially for rock, pop, and spoken word where you need some rejection of room noise, and the bass cut is a genuinely useful feature. It’s a workhorse that punches above its weight.

It’s a genuine 10dB reduction, offering a noticeable impact on low-end frequencies – very useful for taming boomy vocals or instruments.
Yes, you’ll likely need a preamp with a bit more gain than you might use with a more sensitive mic, but it's manageable with most modern interfaces.
