Retro Look — Modern Sound

With equal parts classic looks, contemporary circuitry, and steadfast durability, the Warm Audio Retro 64 makes a versatile addition to any live sound engineer's rig. Its heart and soul rest upon a humbucking dynamic capsule with a cardioid polar pattern, which together imbue the Retro 64 with a clear, focused sound that works wonders on vocals and instruments alike. An internal shockmount also keeps everything well-protected, ensuring that the Retro 64 can withstand even the most raucous rigors of the road and maintain peak performance, gig after gig. Finally, the Retro 64 is backed by Warm Audio's 5-year warranty, giving you total confidence in your gear and allowing you to focus on the music.

Versatile set-it-and-forget-it sound

Sweetwater live sound engineers will tell you that for many situations, a no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point microphone is precisely what you want — and that's exactly what the Retro 64 is. Its humbucking dynamic capsule features a slight upper midrange emphasis and high-end roll-off that flatter vocals and instruments in equal measure. Additionally, the Retro 64's cardioid polar pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection, allowing your miked sound source to come through loud and clear. Finally, a 50Hz–18kHz frequency response and 135dB max SPL are adept at capturing a wide variety of sound sources, including guitar cabs, snare drums, acoustic instruments, and much more.

Timeless style encapsulated

Sporting a vintage '60s appearance, the Retro 64 is pleasing to the eye and ear. It makes a classy impression, particularly when used as a singer's handheld vocal mic or as a broadcaster’s studio mic. However, no matter how you intend to use it, the Retro 64 will lend a sophisticated aesthetic to any situation.

Peace of mind for years to come

Modern materials and construction methods make the Retro 64 ready for the daily grind and the most demanding of world tours. An internal shockmount steadfastly safeguards its capsule, and its housing is built to Warm Audio's exacting standards and specifications. Furthermore, Warm Audio cements their confidence in the Retro 64 by backing it with a 5-year warranty.

  • No-frills dynamic mic with classic appearance but modern sound

Reviews

Great for rappers who like being heard rapping!
Since receiving the mic I have used it on drums, guitar cabinets and on stage around town for live shows. And the audience always comment how the clarity of them finally hearing what I'm saying made them more of a fan.

Great piece and glad I added it to my gear.
