Featuring a meticulously crafted vintage reproduction capsule, WA-84 is built with premium all-discrete components that include Fairchild transistors, Wima capacitors, and a CineMag USA transformer. Designed for professional commercial and home studios, live sound reinforcement, and broadcast applications, the WA-84 has the uncanny ability to finesse a wide range of sources, such as acoustic guitars, double bass, drums and percussion, piano, strings, brass and woodwinds, and more.What can the WA-84 do for you? Every studio needs at least one pair of high-quality small-diaphragm condenser mics, and the Warm Audio WA-84 is designed after a legendary one. With its versatile cardioid polar pattern and 10dB pad, you can use the WA-84 on any instrument — with world-class results. It makes snares and tom toms sound huge. It's great for drum overheads, capturing cymbals with warmth and vibrancy. It's perfect for adding a bit of room to complement a close dynamic or ribbon mic on a guitar cabinet. Engage the pad, and move the mic right up on the speaker grille.Double your value with a pair of these excellent mics The WA-84 is an ideal choice for piano, vibraphone, marimba, congas, strings, woodwinds, and so much more. The list goes on, but suffice to say: You haven't lived until you've heard a grand piano spring to life when miked with a pair of WA-84s. For drum room mics, use two of them and nuke the stereo signal with a fast limiter. Positively explosive! Considering its amazing price, it would be wise to double your value and get (at least) two for recording tracks in stereo.Warm Audio WA-84 Small-diaphragm Condenser Microphone Features: Cardioid polar pattern Fully discrete signal path Vintage reproduction capsule CineMag USA Transformer 48V phantom powered Frequency Range: 20Hz–20kHz Sensitivity: -39dB or 11mV/Pa @ 1kHz Output Impedance: 200Ω Rated Load Impedance: ≥1kΩ Switchable Pad: -10dB Maximum SPL: 123/133dB @ 1kHz, 0.5% THD, 0/-10dB S/N Ratio: 78dBA (IEC651) Equivalent noise: 16dBA (IEC651) Dynamic range: 107dBA (IEC651) Connector: 3-pin gold-plated XLR Includes microphone, cardioid capsule, shockmount, mic clip, windscreen, carrying case SpecificationDetail Microphone Type Condenser Polar Pattern Cardioid Diaphragm Size Small Diaphragm Frequency Range 20Hz-20kHz Max SPL 123dB SPL (133dB with pad) Output Impedance 200 ohms Signal to Noise Ratio 78dB (A weighted) Self Noise 16dB (A weighted) Sensitivity 11mV/Pa @ 1kHz Pads -10dB Connector XLR Color Nickel Power Source 48V phantom power Weight 0.27 lbs.
