Description
Based on classic microphone circuitry, the nickel Warm Audio WA-84 Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone (Stereo Pair, Nickel) is a fully discrete, stereo pair of small-diaphragm condenser microphones, well suited for professional studios, home studios, live sound, and broadcast applications The WA-84 excels at capturing a variety of sources including acoustic/electric guitars, acoustic/electric bass, drums, piano, strings, brass, woodwinds, and an array of other instruments.
Each WA-84 features a heavy nickel CineMag USA transformer in its signal path to warm up and enlarge the sound source. Also, included are audiophile components including polystyrene capacitors, Wima capacitors, and a Fairchild FET, which provide a gorgeous sounding circuit with great signal integrity and a smooth boutique tone, resulting in a creamy-smooth top-end and a beefy mid-to-bottom.
Each microphone's cardioid capsule is replaceable and is easily unscrewed from the body. The enclosure features a -10dB pad to attenuate loud sources, while the gold-plated 3-pin XLR ensures a solid connection to a microphone cable (available separately). The WA-84 offers a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and can capture sources with a maximum SPL of 133 dB (with the -10 dB pad engaged). The Warm Audio WA-84 Stereo Pair includes two shock-mounts, two microphone clips, two windscreens, and a carrying case.
