Warm Audio WA84 Small Diaphragm Condenser Mic (Nickel - Single)

The WA–84 small diaphragm condenser microphone breaks convention by incorporating heavyweight CineMag USA transformer technology into a compact design, creating an unexpectedly large and warm sound signature. This fully discrete Class A microphone features premium components including polystyrene and Wima capacitors alongside a Fairchild FET, making it suitable for professional studio, home recording, live performance and broadcast applications across a wide range of sources from acoustic guitars and drums to brass, woodwinds and strings.

While many manufacturers have shifted to transformer–less designs for cost efficiency, the WA–84 takes a boutique approach with its heavy nickel CineMag transformer that warms and enlarges sound sources. The microphone utilises a custom vintage–style capsule manufactured to precise vintage specifications by an Australian supplier, ensuring the most critical component meets the highest quality standards for authentic sonic reproduction.

The American–made CineMag USA transformer contributes to the WA–84's characteristic creamy smooth top–end response and robust mid to bottom–end presence typical of classic 84–style small diaphragm condensers. Combined with carefully selected Wima, polystyrene and tantalum through–hole capacitors throughout the signal path, this microphone offers crystal clear yet smooth sound with exceptional signal integrity and boutique tonal qualities.
