• Professional musician Haruki Ishida's review of the WARM AUDIO "WA-44" and "WARM LIFTER" is now available!

  

  2025/09/10

  Haruki Ishida—active in many fields, primarily on saxophone but also supporting various artists on keyboards, guitar, and drums, as well as recording and producing music at his own studio, "atelier:haru"—has published his review of the WARM AUDIO "WA-44" and "WARM LIFTER"!
  
  "The midrange sounds sweet and wonderful. There's nothing harsh about it, and the overtones—especially when vibrato is applied—are particularly pleasant. (Saxophone)"
  "The sound, which can be harsh when recorded with a condenser mic, is nicely balanced. (Percussion)"
  "The WA-44 instantly adds a studio atmosphere when blended into the overall mix, and I think it's a product that can really bring out the character of my studio."
  
  He gave us a rave review.
  There are videos for each instrument on the review page; be sure to check them out with headphones!
