Warm Audio WA-84 Small Diaphragm Omni & Cardioid Condenser Microphone, Stereo Pair, Nickel

Over the years, the WA-84 Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, Stereo Pair, Nickel has established itself as a legendary piece of audio equipment. This microphone is a small diaphragm condenser model, meticulously crafted based on the principles of classic microphone circuitry. It's a fully discrete Class A design, featuring a CineMag USA transformer, polystyrene and Wima capacitors, and a Fairchild FET.

The WA-84 is a versatile microphone, designed to excel in a variety of settings including professional studios, home studios, live performances, and broadcast applications. It delivers exceptional sound quality across a wide range of instruments and sources, including acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, piano, strings, brass and woodwind instruments, and more.

Despite its compact size, the WA-84 is known for its large, warm sound, thanks to the heavy Nickel CineMag transformer in its signal path. This is a departure from the transformer-less technology commonly found in modern small diaphragm condenser microphones, which is often used for its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. However, the WA-84 embraces a more boutique design approach, resulting in a crystal clear, smooth, and large sound.

The WA-84 is a testament to our commitment to offering something unique in the market. By incorporating large core transformer technology (CineMag USA) into a small diaphragm condenser microphone, we've created a circuit that delivers a stunningly gorgeous sound, superior signal integrity, and a smooth boutique tone.

A closer look at the WA-84 reveals the meticulous attention to detail in its construction. The microphone utilizes a custom vintage-style capsule, designed to replicate classic componentry and design techniques. This capsule is carefully manufactured by a trusted Australian supplier to meet vintage specifications, ensuring that we capture the sonics of the most crucial component of any microphone.

The circuit of the WA-84 is a fully discrete Class A design, featuring a CineMag USA transformer, polystyrene and Wima capacitors, and a Fairchild FET. The American made CineMag USA transformer contributes to the microphone's legendary creamy smooth top-end and robust mid to bottom-end sound. The WA-84 also proudly utilizes Wima, polystyrene, and tantalum through-hole capacitors throughout its design.

In conclusion, the WA-84 Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, Stereo Pair, Nickel is a testament to the power of classic design principles, delivering a large, warm sound in a compact package.
