Warm Audio WA-84 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
 
Built in a vintage-inspired design, the WA-84 features a Class-A signal path with a CineMag output transformer, Fairchild transistors, and Wima capacitors. As a classic small-diaphragm microphone, it is ideal for a wide variety of applications including acoustic and electric guitars and basses, drums, piano, strings, and brass instruments.
 
Thanks to its CineMag nickel-core output transformer, the WA-84 delivers an impressively big sound for its compact size. In recent years, most small-diaphragm condenser microphones have been built without transformers to simplify production and reduce costs. Warm Audio deliberately took a different approach. The result is a boutique design with the legendary tone of the 1960s and 1970s, renowned for its crystal-clear yet smooth and creamy sound.
