Warm Audio WA84 (Black)
The WA-84 is a small diaphragm condenser microphone based on classic microphone circuitry.Ā The WA-84 is a fully discrete Class A design that utilizes a CineMag USA transformer,Ā polystyrene and Wima capacitors and a Fairchild FET.Ā 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.
The WA-84 has a very LARGE sound for itās small size and uniquely uses a heavy Nickel CineMag transformer in itās signal path to warm up and ENLARGE sound sources.Ā Small diaphragm condenser microphones have widely moved to transformer-less technology in recent years for ease of design and a lower-cost manufacturing process.Ā When designing the WA-84 we cose to go the extra mile and tackle a more boutique design known for itās itās crystal clear, yet smooth, LARGE sound.Ā Ā
The Capsule
The WA-84 utilizes a custom vintage-style capsule designed to emulate classic componentry and design techniques. The WA-84ās capsule is carefully manufactured by an Australian capsule supplier and is precisely reproduced to vintage specs. We are pleased to offer such a high quality capsule in this microphone which allows us to nail the sonics of the most important component of any microphone.
The Circuit
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 Transformer
The WA-84 utilizes an American made CineMag USA transformer that contributes to the legendary creamy smooth top-end and the BEEFY mid to bottom-end one would hope to get from an 84-style small diaphragm condenser microphone.
The Capacitors
The WA-84 proudly utilizes Wima, polystyrene and tantalum through-hole capacitors throughout.
