I bought the wa-19 for close vocal recording without proximity effect. It does that great. I don't even roll off the bass end and can get super close. Very similar to a sennheiser md-421 in a smaller package. I have tried it on guitar, bass, drums as overhead, toms close miced, and acoustic nylon string. It has outperformed all of my other mics in every application. It is as utilitarian as an sm-57 with way better clarity and balance as a 57 gets muddy and bassy with close vocals. very pleased with the purchase.

Ordered from Amazon who took an age to deliver despite the original estimate. Straight out of the box it’s a nice mic - much smaller than anticipated. Plugged in and no output whatsoever so had to get a refund. Not sure if this was bad luck or poor quality control/manyfacture. Made in China so not sure I’ll reinvest.
