• Pro Drummer Rento Kimura's WARM AUDIO Condenser Microphone Review Now Available!

  

  2025/12/10

  We've released a WARM AUDIO condenser microphone review by professional drummer Rento Kimura, who is based in Tokyo and active in live support and recording for various artists!
  
  WA-84: If you want “airiness + definition + brightness” at the same time for drum recording, this mic does an excellent job.
  WA-87jr SE: I think this mic really shines when you want a presence-filled sound for rock genres.
  WA-47jr SE: I believe this will become a go-to mic for when you want musical coloring, or for productions where a live-like sense of presence is prioritized.
  Summary: Recording gear is incredibly important for drummers, and WARM AUDIO elevates the quality of your recordings by a notch while remaining affordable yet high-quality. Its greatest appeal is achieving both “the feel that drummers love” and “a sound that engineers find easy to work with.”
  
  We received this high praise from him.
  The review page features performance videos for each microphone, so be sure to check them out thoroughly with headphones! ♪
