Product Description
The WA-84 is a small diaphragm condenser microphone based on classic microphone circuitry. The Warm Audio WA-84 Premium Stereo Package with Cardioid and Omni Capsules features a fully discrete Class A design that utilizes CineMag USA transformers, polystyrene and Wima capacitors and Fairchild FETs. The WA-84 Premium Stereo Package with Cardioid and Omni Capsules 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.
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 uniquely uses 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 Warm chose to go the extra mile and tackle a more boutique design known for its crystal clear, yet smooth, LARGE sound.
Warm 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 sound absolutely gorgeous and go the extra mile in terms of signal integrity and smooth boutique tone.
The Capsules
The WA-84 Premium Stereo Package with Cardioid and Omni Capsules utilizes custom vintage-style capsules designed to emulate classic components and design techniques. The WA-84's capsules are carefully manufactured by an Australian capsule supplier and are precisely reproduced to vintage specs. Warm are pleased to offer such high quality capsules in these microphones which allows us to nail the sonics of the most important component of any microphone kit.
The Circuits
The WA-84 Premium Stereo Package with Cardioid and Omni Capsules supplies microphones that have fully discrete Class A circuits and utilize CineMag USA transformers, polystyrene and Wima capacitors and Fairchild FETs.
The Transformers
