Full, 180-Degree Capsule Rotation

By independently adjusting the position of each capsule, you can tweak the stereo pickup pattern for various recording techniques, such as XY, Blumlein, mid-side, or a custom angle tailored to the sound source and recording environment.

Independently Assignable Polar-Pattern Switching
Mixing polar patterns on the two capsules on the WA-CX24 unlocks even more versatility and creative control in recording. By combining different patterns, such as cardioid on one capsule and figure-8 on the other, you can craft a unique stereo image and tailor the mic's response to the recording environment.
