The WA-84 is a fully discrete Class A design that utilizes a CineMag USA transformer, polystyrene and Wima capacitors and a Fairchild FET. The WA-84 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 \u0026amp; woodwind instruments, and an array of other sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge Sound, Small Size\u003cbr\u003eThe WA-84 has a very LARGE sound for it’s small size and uniquely uses a heavy Nickel CineMag transformer in it’s 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 a lower-cost manufacturing process. When designing the WA-84 we chose to go the extra mile and tackle a more boutique design known for it’s it’s crystal clear, yet smooth, LARGE sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoutique Tone\u003cbr\u003eWe are proud to offer something special to the market-place by using large core transformer technology (CineMag USA) in a small diaphragm condenser microphone package. The result is a circuit that we feel sounds absolutely gorgeous and goes the extra mile in terms of signal integrity and smooth boutique tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Look Inside The WA-84\u003cbr\u003eThe Capsule\u003cbr\u003eThe WA-84 utilizes a custom vintage-style capsule designed to emulate classic componentry and design techniques. The WA-84’s capsule is carefully manufactured by an Australian capsule supplier and is precisely reproduced to vintage specs. We are pleased to offer such a high quality capsule in this microphone which allows us to nail the sonics of the most important component of any microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Circuit\u003cbr\u003eThe WA-84 is a fully discrete Class A design that utilizes a CineMag USA transformer, polystyrene and Wima capacitors and a Fairchild FET.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Transformer\u003cbr\u003eThe WA-84 utilizes an American made CineMag USA transformer that contributes to the legendary creamy smooth top-end and the BEEFY mid to bottom-end one would hope to get from an 84-style small diaphragm condenser microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Capacitors\u003cbr\u003eThe WA-84 proudly utilizes Wima, polystyrene and tantalum through-hole capacitors throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical Specification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTILIZES A CINEMAG USA TRANSFORMER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIRECTIONAL PATTERN: CARDIOID\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFULLY DISCRETE VINTAGE-STYLE SIGNAL PATH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVINTAGE CAPSULE REPRODUCTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePACKAGE INCLUDES: MICROPHONE, CARDIOID CAPSULE, SHOCK-MOUNT, MIC CLIP, WINDSCREEN AND CARRYING CASE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48V PHANTOM POWERED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFREQUENCY RANGE: 20HZ - 20KHZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSENSITIVITY: -39DB OR 11MV\/PA @ 1KHZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUTPUT IMPEDANCE: 200Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRATED LOAD IMPEDANCE: ≥1KΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePAD: 0DB OR -10DB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMAXIMUM SPL: 123\/133DB @ 1KHZ, 0.5% THD, 0\/-10DB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS\/N RATIO: 78DBA (IEC651)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEQUIVALENT NOISE: 16DBA (IEC651)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDYNAMIC RANGE: 107DBA (IEC651)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCONNECTOR: 3-PIN GOLD-PLATED XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWEIGHT: 122G EACH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431639806045,"sku":"939043000069","price":1234.05,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/8179\/7213\/files\/wa-84_black_stereo-pair_case.jpg?v=1778355509","url":"https:\/\/gearstage.store\/products\/warm-audio-wa84-bk-pair","provider":"GearStage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
