The WA-84 is a fully discrete Class A design that utilizes a CineMag USA transformer, polystyrene and Wima capacitors and a Fairchild FET. The WA-84 is designed for pro studio, home studio, live, and broadcast applications and sounds great on a variety of instruments and sources, such as; acoustic\/electric guitars, acoustic\/electric bass, drums, piano, strings, brass &amp; woodwind instruments, and an array of other sources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Large Sound, Small Size<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The WA-84 has a very LARGE sound for its small size and uniquely uses a heavy Nickel CineMag transformer in its signal path to warm up and ENLARGE sound sources. Small diaphragm condenser microphones have widely moved to transformer-less technology in recent years for ease of design and a lower-cost manufacturing process. When designing the WA-84 we chose to go the extra mile and tackle a more boutique design known for its crystal clear, yet smooth, LARGE sound.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boutique Tone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are proud to offer something special to the market-place by using large core transformer technology (CineMag USA) in a small diaphragm condenser microphone package. The result is a circuit that we feel sounds absolutely gorgeous and goes the extra mile in terms of signal integrity and smooth boutique tone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Look Inside The WA-84<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Capsule: <\/strong>The WA-84 utilizes a custom vintage-style capsule designed to emulate classic componentry and design techniques. The WA-84\u2019s capsule is carefully manufactured by an Australian capsule supplier and is precisely reproduced to vintage specs. We are pleased to offer such a high quality capsule in this microphone which allows us to nail the sonics of the most important component of any microphone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Circuit: <\/strong>The WA-84 is a fully discrete Class A design that utilizes a CineMag USA transformer, polystyrene and Wima capacitors and a Fairchild FET.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Transformer: <\/strong>The WA-84 utilizes an American made CineMag USA transformer that contributes to the legendary creamy smooth top-end and the BEEFY mid to bottom-end one would hope to get from an 84-style small diaphragm condenser microphone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Capacitors: <\/strong>The WA-84 proudly utilizes Wima, polystyrene and tantalum through-hole capacitors throughout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Precise reproduction of the industry standard small-diaphragm studio mic<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vintage capsule reproduction<\/li>\n<li>Custom CineMag USA transformer<\/li>\n<li>Directional pattern: cardioid<\/li>\n<li>Class-A Design + Fairchild FETs<\/li>\n<li>Gold-Plated 3-Pin XLR Output<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16090,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[94,91],"product_tag":[],"woo-feed-brand":[],"class_list":["post-16088","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_cat-condenser-microphones","product_cat-microphones","product_shipping_class-turntables"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rawmusicstore.com\/soundlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/16088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rawmusicstore.com\/soundlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rawmusicstore.com\/soundlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rawmusicstore.com\/soundlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16088"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rawmusicstore.com\/soundlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/16088\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16089,"href":"https:\/\/rawmusicstore.com\/soundlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/16088\/revisions\/16089"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rawmusicstore.com\/soundlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rawmusicstore.com\/soundlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rawmusicstore.com\/soundlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=16088"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rawmusicstore.com\/soundlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=16088"},{"taxonomy":"woo-feed-brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rawmusicstore.com\/soundlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/woo-feed-brand?post=16088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
