Warm Audio Retro 64 Black
The Warm Audio Retro 64 Black is a dynamic live microphone that combines vintage broadcast aesthetics with a modern, stage-ready sound profile. Inspired by classic 1960s broadcast microphones, the Retro 64 is re-engineered to meet the demands of contemporary live performance and FOH applications.
Designed to emphasize the sweet spot in the upper midrange, the Retro 64 delivers clear, present vocals without harshness or feedback issues. Its controlled high-frequency roll-off ensures stable performance on stage, while excellent off-axis rejection helps minimize bleed and unwanted noise. The result is a reliable, mix-ready sound that fits naturally into any live setup.
Whether used for lead vocals, backing vocals, guitar cabinets, snare drum, acoustic instruments, or broadcast applications, the Retro 64 offers the familiar clarity engineers expect from a trusted workhorse microphone—enhanced with a distinctive vintage-inspired character.
Retro Design – Modern Performance
The Retro 64 captures the look and feel of iconic broadcast microphones while delivering a sound profile tailored for modern live environments. Its design helps reject feedback and stage noise, making it a dependable choice for FOH engineers working in demanding conditions.
Built for the Road
The capsule is carefully tuned to deliver a focused midrange presence while controlling excessive high frequencies that can cause feedback. An internal shockmount protects the capsule from mechanical vibrations and handling noise, ensuring consistent performance even in high-energy live situations.
Rugged Construction
Inspired by vintage microphones known for their durability, the Retro 64 features a robust housing built to withstand touring use. Modern construction techniques ensure long-term reliability while maintaining the classic aesthetic.
