To suit any recording situation, the WA84 premium stereo package also includes 2 omnidirectional condenser capsules in addition to the well-known 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 transformer, Fairchild transistors and Wima capacitors. As a classic small diaphragm microphone, it is suitable for a variety of applications, including acoustic and electric guitars and basses, drums, piano, strings or brass. Using a nickel core CineMag output transformer, the WA-84 has a very BIG sound for its small size. In recent years, small diaphragm condenser microphones have been built almost exclusively without transformers in order to simplify the design and make the manufacturing process more cost-effective. When developing the WA-84, Warm Audio consciously decided against this. Instead, the result is a boutique design with the legendary sound of the 60s and 70s, known for its crystal clear, yet creamy and soft sound.
