WA-84 Premium Stereo Package: Featuring Cardioid And Omni Capsules
The WA-84 is a small diaphragm condenser microphone based on classic microphone circuitry. The 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's uniquely use 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 lower-cost manufacturing. When designing the WA-84 we chose to go the extra mile and tackle a more boutique design known for its crystal clear, yet smooth, LARGE sound.
We are proud to offer something special to the marketplace by using large core transformer technology (CineMag USA) in a small diaphragm condenser microphone package. The result is circuits that we feel sound absolutely gorgeous and go the extra mile in terms of signal integrity and smooth boutique tone.
A Look Inside The WA-84 Premium Stereo Package
The CapsulesThe WA-84 Premium Stereo Package with Cardioid and Omni Capsules uses 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 precisely reproduced to vintage specifications. We are proud to offer such high-quality capsules in these microphones, allowing us to capture the sonic character of the most important component in any microphone kit. |
The TransformersThe WA-84 Premium Stereo Package with Cardioid and Omni Capsules uses American-made CineMag USA transformers in the microphone's signal paths. This boutique component contributes to the legendary creamy smooth high end and the BEEFY mid to low end you would expect from an 84-style small diaphragm condenser microphone. |
The CircuitsThe WA-84 Premium Stereo Package with Cardioid and Omni Capsules provides microphones with fully discrete Class A circuits that use CineMag USA transformers, polystyrene and Wima capacitors, and Fairchild FETs. |
The CapacitorsThe WA-84 Premium Stereo Package with Cardioid and Omni Capsules proudly uses Wima, polystyrene, and tantalum through-hole capacitors throughout the entire circuit. |
