{"product_id":"warm-audio-wa-r64c","title":"Warm Audio WA-R64C Retro 64 Chrome Dynamic Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Warm Audio WA-R64C is the chrome-finished version of the Retro 64, a cardioid dynamic microphone for live vocals and instruments. Its body takes its look from a 1960s broadcast mic, but the capsule, sound and construction are modern. It is aimed at singers who want a vintage-styled stage mic and at front-of-house engineers who need a mic that sits predictably in a live mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurpose-tuned capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e a dynamic cardioid capsule designed for this mic, with forward mids and upper mids and added presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTamed top end:\u003c\/strong\u003e the most sibilant highs are rolled off, which helps reduce squeal and feedback on stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOff-axis control:\u003c\/strong\u003e strong noise rejection and good handling of sound arriving from the sides and rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal shockmount:\u003c\/strong\u003e the capsule is isolated inside a rugged body built for touring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile on stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e suited to lead and backing vocals, guitar cabs, snare, toms, acoustic instruments and broadcast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe voicing is aimed at cutting through a band: the emphasis on the mid and upper-mid range helps vocals stay intelligible, while the reduced sibilance keeps the top end under control in loud monitor environments. The cardioid pattern and rear rejection make it a practical choice on crowded stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm Audio's manual gives placement starting points. For vocals, working closer than 4 inches from the windscreen gives the most isolation, 4 to 6 inches gives a tight sound, and 7 inches to 2 feet gives a more natural result with less proximity effect. On toms and snare it is placed 1 to 3 inches above the head, on guitar cabs 0 to 2 inches from the grille either on-axis or angled 20 to 45 degrees, and on acoustic guitar 6 inches to a foot from the 12th fret.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55656031682899,"sku":"WAR64C","price":139.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/4052\/1299\/files\/39f3737b-795a-4459-b0b1-82bee804f555.png?v=1793224583","url":"https:\/\/www.voltmusicstore.com\/products\/warm-audio-wa-r64c","provider":"Volt Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
