The WA-14 features a very special 'select' switch where users can select between three different polar patterns to use with the microphone. These three patterns include cardioid, figure of eight and omnidirectional. Each polar pattern is designed to serve different purposes and environments. The cardioid polar pattern is most useful in close-miking applications and focuses on the main source of sound whilst isolating the rest such as room reflection.

Should users want to capture more than one voice on one microphone then the figure of eight pattern is most suitable. Useful in recording group performances, two to four vocalists can stand on either side of the microphone for an advanced recording setup.

Omnidirectional microphones are usually used for room miking, picking up and capturing ambient sounds or instruments place further away from the microphone. With condenser microphones commonly designed with omnidirectional configurations, this setting produces the most linear frequency response with the least amount of proximity effect.  Features: Large diaphragm brass capsule Classic circuit topology All-brass CK12 capsule design Custom premium CineMag USA transformer Pattern select switch Adjustable pad XLR output Specifications: Microphone: Large Diaphragm Type: Condenser Polar Pattern: Cardioid, Figure Eight and Omnidirectional Capsule: Lens Kondensator LK-12-B-60V Dual Backplate / Dual Diaphragm, 4 Wire Termination Capsule Diaphragm: 1'' Diameter, 6 Micron Thickness, 24k Gold Sputtered Diaphragm, NOS Japanese Mylar Frequency Range: 20Hz to 20kHz Sound Pressure Level: 0.5 Percent THD @ 1kHz @ 138 dB (No Pad), 144 dB (-10 dB), 150 dB (-20 dB Pad) Output Pad: 0 dB, -10 dB, -20 dB Impedance: 150Ω Self-Noise: -115 dB Connector: 3-Pin XLR Phantom Power: +48V Colour: Black
