LET’S GET STARTED

The classic ‘67 became extremely popular as a vocal microphone in the 1960’s and early seventies, famous for its 

chewy character and distinctive midrange. 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.

At Warm, we’re passionate about killer equipment and we take our responsibility to our customers very seriously. That 

means that we don’t make “look-alike” gear that doesn’t deliver, and we take considerable time and effort to get as 

close as possible to both the heart and the soul of an original design. We went to great lengths to recreate the discrete 

circuit of the original microphone, using boutique components throughout to ensure that nothing got in the way of pure 

tube magic. The sound and vibe of the original ’67 is recreated in our WA-67, and we take great pride in being able 

to make such a high-quality microphone available to everyone at an unheard-of price.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7.  Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in 

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8.  Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, 

heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including 

amplifiers) that produce heat.

9.  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or 

grounding plug. A polarized plug has two blades with 

one wider than the other. A grounding plug has two 

blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade 

or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the 

provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an 

electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.  Protect the power cord from being walked on or 

pinched particularly at the plugs,convenience 

receptacles, and at the point where they exit from 

the apparatus.

11.  Only use attachments/accessories specified by 

the manufacturer.

12.  Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or 

table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the 

apparatus. When a cart or rack is used, use caution 

when moving the cart/apparatus combination to 

avoid injury from tip-over.

13.  Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or 

when unused for long periods of time.

14.  Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing 

is required when the apparatus has been damaged 

in any way, such as when a power supply cord or 

plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects 

have fallen into the apparatus, it has been exposed 

to rain or moisture, does not operate normally or has 

been dropped.

15.  CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use 

by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the 

risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing 

other than that contained in the operating instructions 

unless you are qualified to do so.
