Nine polar patterns per capsule, 180-degree upper-capsule rotation, a 12AY7 vacuum tube, and dual T14 output transformers support XY, Blumlein, mid-side, and custom coincident stereo recording techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for professional studios, project rooms, and engineers seeking single-point stereo capture, the WA-CX24 handles drum overheads, room ambience, piano, acoustic guitar, orchestral sections, horns, and vocals. Independent pattern selection lets each capsule use cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8, or one of six intermediate settings, allowing engineers to adjust direct sound, ambience, stereo width, and rejection without positioning two separate microphone bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach custom edge-terminated capsule uses a dual-backplate, all-brass construction with a 24k gold-sputtered 6-micron PET diaphragm. The transformer-balanced tube circuit incorporates two USA-made T14 TAB-Funkenwerk output transformers plus polystyrene and Wima film capacitors. A dedicated external power supply, 16.4' Gotham GAC-9 cable, shockmount, wood box, and tweed flight case complete the recording system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-Point Stereo Capture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Houses two large-diaphragm condenser capsules in one microphone for coincident stereo recording from a common physical position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e180-Degree Capsule Rotation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rotates the upper capsule independently to configure XY, Blumlein, mid-side, and custom stereo pickup angles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9 Patterns Per Capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selects cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8, or six intermediate responses independently for each capsule.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual CK12-Style Capsules:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses custom edge-terminated, dual-backplate, all-brass capsules with 24k gold-sputtered diaphragms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12AY7 Tube Circuit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Incorporates a premium vacuum tube with polystyrene and Wima film capacitors in the microphone electronics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual USA-Made Transformers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses two custom T14 TAB-Funkenwerk output transformers for the microphone's stereo signal paths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e149 dB Maximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accommodates high-level sources while retaining the flexibility needed for room, instrument, and vocal recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Studio Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes the dedicated power supply, shockmount, Gotham 9-pin cable, wood storage box, IEC cord, and tweed flight case.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexible Stereo Recording Techniques\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper capsule rotates through 180 degrees while both capsules provide independently selectable polar patterns.
