Based on classic microphone circuitry, the nickel Warm Audio WA-84 is a fully discrete, small-diaphragm condenser microphone well suited for professional studios, home studios, live sound, and broadcast applications. The WA-84 excels at capturing a variety of sources including acoustic/electric guitars, acoustic/electric bass, drums, pianos, strings, brass, woodwinds, and an array of other instruments.

The WA-84 features a heavy nickel CineMag USA transformer in its signal path to warm up and enlarge the sound source. Also, included are audiophile components including polystyrene and Wima capacitors and a Fairchild FET, which all contribute to produce a gorgeous sounding circuit with great signal integrity and a smooth boutique tone and a creamy-smooth top-end and a beefy mid-to-bottom.

The cardioid capsule is replaceable and is easily unscrewed from the body. The enclosure features a -10 dB pad to attenuate loud sources, while the gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector ensures a solid connection to an optional microphone cable. The WA-84 offers a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and can capture sources with a maximum SPL of 133 dB (with the -10 dB pad engaged). The Warm Audio WA-84 includes a shockmount, a microphone clip, a windscreen, and a carrying case.
