Product information "Warm Audio WA84-OC-N-ST"
To cater for every recording situation, the WA84 premium stereo package also contains 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 and wind instruments.
By using a CineMag output transformer with nickel core, the WA-84 has a very BIG sound for its small size. In recent years, small diaphragm condenser microphones have almost exclusively been built without transformers in order to simplify the design and make the manufacturing process more cost-effective. When developing the WA-84, Warm Audio made a conscious decision not to do this. Instead, the result is a boutique design with the legendary sound of the 60s and 70s, which is known for its crystal-clear, yet creamy and soft sound.
