A fantastic recreation of a legendary small-diaphragm condenser
Their acclaimed compressors and preamplifiers have turned the price/performance ratio of pro audio on its head. When Warm Audio turned its attention to the granddaddy of small-diaphragm FET condenser microphones, you knew it had to be good. And it is. Just go back to any top recording studio in the 1970s. You'll see the well-known '84 everywhere. Engineers who have worked with several generations of this perennial studio favorite know that the vintage ones have a warmer, more forgiving sound character. It's these circuit designs - going back nearly half a century - that Warm Audio has meticulously followed for the WA-84. And this edition features both cardioid and omnidirectional capsules for greater flexibility. Outstanding performance, top-quality components and amazing value: that's the Warm formula - and the WA-84 does it.Read more
Quality components make the difference with Warm
Warm Audio does not skimp on components, but rather orders parts and builds in bulk, which keeps costs down and delivers amazing value. The WA-84 has a carefully crafted vintage reproduction capsule and is built from high-quality discrete components, including Fairchild transistors, Wima capacitors and a CineMag USA transformer. Designed for professional commercial and home studios, live sound reinforcement and broadcast applications, the WA-84 has the uncanny ability to fine-tune a wide range of sources, including acoustic guitars, double bass, drums and percussion, piano, strings, brass and woodwinds and more.What can the WA-84 do for you?
Every studio needs at least one pair of high-quality small-diaphragm condenser microphones, and the Warm Audio WA-84 is designed after a legendary example. With its versatile cardioid polar pattern and -10dB pad, you can use the WA-84 on any instrument - with world-class results. It makes snares and tom toms sound huge. It's great for drum overheads and captures cymbals with warmth and vibrancy. It's perfect for adding a little space to complement a close dynamic or ribbon mic on a guitar cabinet. Simply turn on the pad and place the mic on the speaker's grille.- WA-84 Nickel Stereo Pair Specifications
