Spotted this on Reddit. Warm Audio is selling a mystery box where you can potentially get a mic that is way above the mystery box value.

They don't seem to ship to Finland so I can't take advantage, but maybe one of you US folks have been looking for new mics?

WA make some really excellent mics and there are a few WA models on sale at various online dealers at the moment .
So if your after a WA mic ? It might be cheaper to shop around and get the model you want.

Ive been watching this for a couple days and haven’t been able to bring myself to pull the trigger. It’s intriguing but I’d be so disappointed to end up with one of their lower end transformerless 47s.

I guess I’m too risk averse to gamble.

Why oh why did I click on this thread. .

Reminds me of the Mystery Box thing Chase Bliss did, where they ended up dumping their excess stock of the Clean pedal in about 80% of the boxes they shipped.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is a similar situation where most get one of the $299 mics.

But like the Chase Bliss, they still got something cool for less than what the new thing costs and had a bit of excitement. Let's see what our forumites get!

can’t imagine anything Warm Audio makes is worth what you pay, regardless of the deal. Their stuff is OK in a pinch, but if you don’t desperately need it IMO it’s worth saving your money and getting something better.

Warm Audio make outstanding Mics Studio gear and pedals.

I don't get why you would pay good money for some "mystery" item. I don't know man, work too dang hard for my money to do that.

depends what you compare to really. IMO they make a lot of compromises to get the cost down and I personally don't think those compromises are worth it (you can get similar quality gear for less, or much better gear for slightly more). I've owned a couple of Warm Audio bits over the years and ended up selling all of them-

I don’t mind WA gear, I’ve got the TB12 and I’ve been happy with it but I’ve not tried any of their mics. I’m kinda tempted by this but I have no need for one their lower end offerings. If I scored something like the WA14 I’d be pretty content with that.
