The Warm Audio Retro 64 is a dynamic live microphone designed for vocals and instruments, combining the unmistakable look of a classic 1960s broadcast microphone with a sound profile engineered for modern live sound environments. Built for front-of-house engineers who demand consistency, control, and reliability, the Retro 64 delivers a familiar, trusted response that fits effortlessly into contemporary PA systems while adding undeniable vintage character to the stage.
At the core of the Retro 64 is a custom-tuned humbucking dynamic capsule, purpose-built for live performance. The voicing emphasizes a clear, usable upper-midrange that allows vocals and instruments to cut through dense mixes without harshness, while excess high frequencies are carefully rolled off to reduce feedback and unwanted squeal. This balanced tuning makes the Retro 64 especially effective in loud environments, offering predictable results night after night with minimal EQ adjustment.
Designed with real-world touring and stage use in mind, the Retro 64 delivers excellent noise rejection and strong off-axis control, helping isolate the source even on crowded stages. An internal shockmount protects the capsule from handling noise and physical impact, ensuring stable performance under demanding conditions ranging from clubs and festivals to broadcast and spoken-word applications.
The Retro 64 is a versatile dynamic microphone suitable for lead and backing vocals, guitar cabinets, snare and toms, acoustic instruments, and broadcast use. Finished in matte black and inspired by the rugged, hammer-like durability of vintage broadcast designs, it offers performers a microphone that looks as distinctive as it sounds. Backed by Warm Audio’s long-term reliability standards, the Retro 64 is a stage-ready dynamic microphone that blends retro aesthetics with modern live sound performance.
