The original ’67 became one of the most sought-after and widely-used studio microphones of its time, recording a massive collection of some of the most memorable songs of the last 50 years - we’re talking about classic tracks from artists as varied as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Temptations and Nirvana! The original mics are still sought after, but they can command upwards of $8000 for a pristine unit, putting them far out of reach for most recordists.
Thankfully, Warm Audio has now changed that scenario with the release of the new WA-67! Based around an EF86 pentode tube and having the same smooth and creamy tone of the original, the WA-67 excels at recording just about anything that you put it in front of, and it may immediately become your go-to choice for vocals, guitars, drum toms and overheads, pianos, brass and strings.

I was tired of lifting heavy speakers out of my house, then into my car, then out of my car, into the venue and up onto stands and then having to run leads to everything, all before a performance. My son recommended the JBL eon mk2, as he had hired the same for his gigging. I can be set up in less than 10 minutes and pull down in the same time.

Loving the SSL E Dyn. Apparently this was on every channel during sessions with the console. I can see why. Great way to get a clean punchy signal into your DAW. Love the extender circuit as well, it does a great job of keeping any unwanted background noise out of your recording.
