Warm Audio WA-84 Condenser Microphone Premium Stereo Pair
Featuring Cardioid & Omni Capsules!
This WA-84 Stereo Pair with Omni and Cardioid Capsules package contains 4 custom vintage-style capsules that emulate classic component design techniques. 2 of the capsules included are cardioid directional, and the other 2 are omni directional. The WA-84 capsules are carefully manufactured by an Australian capsule supplier and are precisely reproduced to vintage specifications. We are pleased to offer such high-quality capsules in this microphone package allowing us to nail the sonics of the most important component to any microphone's sound.
Large Sound, Small Size. The WA-84 Premium Stereo package includes 2 microphones with Cardioid and Omni Capsules that have a very LARGE sound for their small size. The WA-84's uniquely use heavy Nickel CineMag transformers in their signal path to warm up and ENLARGE sound sources. Small diaphragm condenser microphones have widely moved to transformer-less technology in recent years for ease of design and a lower-cost manufacturing. When designing the WA-84 we chose to go the extra mile and tackle a more boutique design known for its crystal clear, yet smooth, LARGE sound.
We are proud to offer something special to the market-place by using large core transformer technology (CineMag USA) in a small diaphragm condenser microphone package. The result is circuits that we feel sound absolutely gorgeous and go the extra mile in terms of signal integrity and smooth boutique tone.
Sound Like a Legend. The WA-84 is a small diaphragm condenser microphone based on classic microphone circuitry. The WA-84 is a fully discrete Class A design that utilizes a CineMag USA transformer, polystyrene and Wima capacitors and a Fairchild FET. The WA-84 is designed for pro studio, home studio, live, and broadcast applications and sounds great on a variety of instruments and sources, such as; acoustic/electric guitars, acoustic/electric bass, drums, piano, strings, brass & woodwind instruments, and an array of other sources.
