WA-84 Stereo Pair
Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
Precise Reproduction Of The Industry Standard
Legendary Roots
The WA-84 is a precise reproduction of the industry standard small-diaphragm condenser mic. Unlike modern transformerless recreations, vintage units are prized for the rich & detailed tone that delivers smooth yet detailed high end. Like the original, the WA-84 delivers that signature SDC sound trusted by artists and engineers on legendary recordings by James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, Steve Gadd and many more.
Clear, Focused Tone
Like the original vintage units, the WA-84 delivers open clarity with powerful noise rejection. Unlike modern reissues that skip the transformer and “update” the circuit, the WA-84 captures creamy smooth top-end and the BEEFY mid to bottom-end that made the original the studio legend that it is. The class-A circuitry, premium transformer, and meticulous design allow the WA-84 to capture precise detail in performances with professional sound isolation. The slight 8 – 10 kHz dip / 11 – 20 kHz bump smooths out harsh highs without any lost brilliance.
The WA-84 proudly utilizes WIMA, polystyrene and tantalum through-hole capacitors throughout the whole circuit for ideal signal transfer from capsule-to-transformer.
Unlike modern transformerless reissues, the WA-84 uses a custom USA-made CineMag transformer that helps deliver rich detail, clear top-end, and tight bottom end of the original mics without losing that unmistakable ‘analog’ sound.
The available -10 dB pad provides more headroom to record loud sources with the impressive detail of a condenser plus elite noise-rejection.
