The Warm Audio WA-84 Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphones (Stereo Pair) 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 and woodwind instruments, and an array of other sources. Microphone comes in a set of two.
The WA-84 has a very large sound for its small size and uniquely uses a heavy Nickel CineMag transformer in its signal path to warm up and enlarge sound sources. Warm Audio offers something special by using large core transformer technology (CineMag USA) in a small diaphragm condenser microphone package. The result is a circuit that sounds absolutely gorgeous and goes the extra mile in terms of signal integrity and smooth boutique tone.
