Premium stereo set with omnidirectional and cardioid capsules

To meet any recording situation, the WA84 premium stereo package includes 2 omnidirectional condenser capsules in addition to the familiar cardioid capsules. These are produced by an Australian manufacturer according to strict specifications and selected in pairs. They make the WA84 a universal small-diaphragm condenser microphone with a retro touch.

The vintage-style microphone has a Class A signal path with CineMag transformers, Fairchild transistors and Wima capacitors. As a classic small-diaphragm microphone, it is suitable for a wide range of applications, including acoustic and electric guitars and basses, drums, piano, strings or brass.

Using a CineMag output transformer with nickel core, the WA-84 has a very BIG sound for its small size. Small diaphragm condenser microphones have almost exclusively been transformerless in recent years to simplify the design and make the manufacturing process more cost effective. Warm Audio made a conscious decision not to do this when developing the WA-84. Instead, the result is a boutique design with the legendary sound of the 60s and 70s, known for its crystal clear, yet creamy and smooth sound.
